RAVING REVIEW: <\/strong>The story here is powerful because you can’t make up something like this. A decidedly slow burn builds up to a powerful experience throughout the film.<\/p>\n

\n

This is likely going to be a film you either love or one that you struggle through; the runtime of the film is probably more than most audiences would be comfortable with, but it is all part of how the story builds. While I think it could’ve been edited down some (especially the first act), I think there was an intention behind the runtime.<\/p>\n

The film finds humor in even the darkest moments; it balances itself with the tone. The fact that the film is at least partially based on actual events gives it a weight that makes you feel more attached to the outcome while watching. I don’t think there will be any awards provided for pushing the limits of filmmaking; at times, it is more reminiscent of a documentary than an adventure\/war film. <\/p>\n

Often I find specific film stories are more impressive because of what they’re about than the film itself; that isn’t a knock on the filmmakers. It’s just that I sometimes create what a movie should be about and how it should play out based on its story.<\/p>\n

In the end, the film is still a fantastic statement piece and incredibly memorable in every way. The story of the lengths a person will go to after being pushed to extremes is interesting. While the execution isn’t perfect, the film's journey is worth it. I usually find myself researching documentaries after watching them, but this is one of the rare exceptions where I’ve spent some time digging into the story of a regular film.<\/p>\n
