Steve D Quite entertaining despite its age. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/20/24 Full Review Louisa E This is the worst film I've watched on my Oscar journey so far. It's not a story that lends itself to the silent style. Is it the first flashback movie I've watched? Maybe. This movie has no plausibility! It also has terrible editing and zero chemistry. I'm giving it 2 stars - 1 for the lighting in the firing squad scene, and 1 for the beautiful dresses worn by Tanya (especially the exquisite wedding dress). The actress reminds me of Penelope Keith. Does it deserve an Oscar Nom-Nom? - Nope; that story was way too far-fetched. 2/10 Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Solid action movie that never flags thanks to brief sub hour running time.
