The empathy displayed under extreme circumstances is truly transcendent, but the film just didn't resonate quite as much with me. It seemed to me lacking a little in tension in the performances, though I confess in listening to the real Antoinette Tuff in her 911 call afterwards, found she really was remarkably calm. Her words will stick with me: "It's going to be all right, sweetie ... I just want you to know I love you though, OK? And I'm proud of you. That's a good thing that you're giving up and don't worry about it. We all go through something in life." What a fantastic person.
