Reviews
**A great film that deserves to be reviewed and revisited today.** I've said many times that a movie always needs a good story, and this movie is an example of that. The strength of the plot, the way in which it captures our attention and curiosity, the way in which the characters were created, developed, and are able to win our sympathy, everything is combined with an excellent work by the act
