In brief: this movie is too dull, to be called either drama or historical, and is rather far from facts to be called documentary. It is about one of the most important events in the history of democracy, and i guess it should has been treated with more respect. Actually, it's hard to say, what i got from watching it. The plot i new from my lessons of history in university, I saw George Clooney's actor skills in many movies before, so, here - nothing new. Perhaps, only for those, who heard nothing about that political event it would be better to learn it from this movie, then not to know it at all. So my vote 5 is only for educational value of this picture.

It is very unlike other films, Luk Besson is related with, very few action, lots of dialogs. Not one of the kind you'll enjoy in breaks between portions of popcorn. This movie really touched me with it's honesty. It made me understand little bit more about myself, about the way i treat other people. Not everyone will like it. If you are looking for Taxi-style action - here you won't find anything alike. It's all b&w, and very bright at the same time, 40s style footage. It is about nature of human being, about those weak and strong, about good and evil. It teaches how to love yourself, but without being egoistic. Ant maybe the best thing is, it doesn't only rise a question, but it tries to answer it within the same hour and a half - unlike many movies of this kind (hollywood influence ;)
