Look... I just state as how I see it... You don’t have to agree with me... The production quality looks cheesy, the acting seems so-so, and the dialogue (from what I’ve seen in the trailer) is bad. I was hoping for much more but it is not there...
Restrepo is a Doco, a very different beast from a feature film and truly can’t be used in a comparison. And as far as Restrepo not having a P.O.V or bias is a false premise. Everything has a bias or a P.O.V.
Look it... I produce film and television in Hollywood and this unfortunately looks like, at beast, a really well done Movie of the Week. As a big Ayn Rand fan, I was hoping for more but am very let down by the trailer. I’ll go see the movie and I do hope that it is much better than the trailer. But, as we all know, a vast majority of trailers are better than the movies themselves.
I liken this movie will be up there with the quality of many of the “Christian” films being made today. They come close, but don’t quite succeed. (BTW — I am trying to change that.)
Just my humble opinion and nothing more...
ARA
You've seen Restrepo?
If you, what was the bias - and the P.O.V.?
Sounds interesting. How so?
