- Engaging in a superficial way, a loquacious examination of revolutionary ideals past and present is embedded in an uninvolving love triangle together with a modicum of suspense.

  Interesting idea
  
  Built around an interesting idea but changes half way through to a teenage love triangle story and doesn't fully develop the idea

  I found this movie too long, too slow and very much on the dull side of life. The plot was tangled, confusing and, often, illogical. The only redeeming feature ... read more »
