The staging and acting was very convincing. The message of this story was necessary. Alas there's an imbalance in pace. The pace from the beginning until the guys are finally picked up from the desert really helps to feel what actually happens. Towards the end it felt like the makers suddenly found out that the story had to end and that this had to be quick. That also contributed to the fact that I lost my understanding of some of the details of all the politics behind the scenes. If I wouldn't have felt that way near the end of the movie, I would have rated it a 10! Still, the essentials of the message was clear.
