I loved this movie. The plot was truly exciting. The acting was great.
I do not want to spoil to movie so I am just going to say- GO SEE
IT!!!It is an excellent mixture of intrigue and story telling. the
movie excites you and really makes you think.
I really liked the acting especially the main character- Henry Iain
Cusick. The interweaving story of all these different people. It is a
thriller and keeps you at the edge of your seat.
There is a holocaust survivor that shares a story that is truly
captivating. I mean it is great one of the best stories I have ever
heard someone tell.
It has a lot of twist and turn and is just right!!!
