brilliant actors, brilliant editing

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

I haven't seen the previous episodes leading to this "epic" finale of the second season of True Justice. A show that tries to put Steven Seagal back on the TV map. He's still going strong (or limping if you look closely) on the video market. Which is kinda insane if you think about it, but it's true.Kinda crazy and completely out there is something that can be said about the plot here too. There was an additional episode leading up to these events, which was also on the Disc, but before ever episode the "what happened before" round up is pretty good. But even so and even with some nicely done (for not HBO TV made) action scenes, this can be mildly entertaining. It could be even more entertaining, if it was a bit bolder in the end ... unfortunately it tries to smooth things out ... and leaving a big hole that must be filled with Season 3 ... not buying
