For its budget, this movie exceeded my expectation in terms of filming and storyline. I believe it is a seriously good production given the resources. It appears to be rather historically accurate too with a relatively balanced view of things. We saw it with our tween daughter who is studying these events as part of Maltese history. What I could not understand is the need to pepper a historical drama.with raw Maltese vulgar language as if it were Beverly Hills Cop. I believe it was possible to use less vulgar language and still express the strong emotions in the movie. If you are watching this with your Maltese tween (the English subtitles tend to limit the translation of the colourful Maltese vulgar vernacular to the F word most of the time), be prepared for it.
