It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
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.
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
