Review

A good story doesn't always make a good film. Covering 20 years - much of which is spent shuffling paper and waiting for the legal process to grind through it somewhat struggles to make a drama. Would probably be better as a book.

Having said which its not a bad film, well shot, acted and directed. Nice to see Ruffalo playing a proper character for once. Unfortunately no subtitles available on the DVD some sometimes hard to make out what the actors said.
