Even those predisposed to accept the movie's fanciful version of what happened will be hard-pressed to see it through to the end. Overlong at two hours-plus, the film bogs down repeatedly in meetings -- meetings of the Cabinet, meetings of the war cabinet, meetings at Camp David, meetings in the Oval Office, meetings, meetings everywhere. In his zeal to proselytize, Chetwynd forgot how to dramatize.Well, I'm one of these "Predisposed to accept the movie's fanciful version", and all I could do was sit there and STARE at the TV, ENTHRAWED!
And...
"Two hours-plus"???
It was exactly two hours and FIVE FREAKING MINUTES long.
This guy's a pissant of the highest order.
I am signing up for Showtime today so that I can watch the re-airing of this tonight. I think I will drop Mr. Shales a note and thank him for reminding me.
