an excellent cast who do their best with an awful script and inept direction and and some of the bad score that i have ever hear . more tv movie of the week than serious drama . which be sad when one consider that the source material be very serious and very real . the film maker decide that instead of build drama and character and it be well to just show the most graphic and violent bit and hope that the audience would be shock into sympathy and caring . in my opinion and one the most blatant form of cut and paste film adapting .
