this movie be very and very good . when i read that it be 2 half hr and i thought and oh and no and boooring . but first off and this movie be so interesting that it do not seem much long than the typical 90 minute flick . and a many drama be and this film may be a little slow in some part and but i never lose interest and not once . crowe be great and and i be impress by pacino performance and who i have admittedly lose confidence in over the last decade or so . probably his best in many year . grant and most base on a true story film fictionalize 90 % of the film ( i. e. titanic and perfect storm ) and but this movie be still loyal to the basic truth . very compelling and go rent this one soon .
