It appears the writer's, editor's, actor's and director's of this film were suffering from an acute case of creative block. The movie could have been much truer to it's political bias. | | | | Reply | | |

I like Robert Redford but his political bias really sticks out in this movie. | | | | Reply | | |

The movie has serious questions that we may already know the answers unconsciously, but not publicly. | | | | Reply | | |

The story line is deadly dull. Lots of acting talent on the screen but the director totally fails to get anything out of them. | | | | Reply | | |
