Was.........OK. Marginally acceptable.

It's watchable. There's just enough good to slightly outweigh the bad. It's a passable ride

It's a bit melodramatic, the acting is inconsistent, the direction is not very good, the dialogue is anachronistc, but the story (true) is good, the cinematography is good, and it's an ok way to kill some time. I'm retired. I do that.

The ending is unsatisfying. If you're going to present a character in such a way that you're meant to HATE them, want them to suffer a slow death, etc., then show his comeuppance. There are a couple characters that need killin, but it's only insinuated that they get theirs.

It's not a multiple watch deal. I've seen Shawshank 7 million times. This isn't Ike that.
