You won't be disappointed!
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
