A decent enough drama, but I couldn't find anything that really set it apart from all the others. The characters were a tad dull, the presentation was polished but lacked identity, and the plot turned out to be a little too predictable, especially for a 2+ hour film. None of it was outright bad or disappointing, but it was just too basic.
Films like this are a dime a dozen, so directors need to put in extra effort to make them stand out. I felt that was lacking here. Both director and cast fell short of turning this into something memorable, and so what remains is a decent, enjoyable film, but nothing worth remembering or raving about.
