Bryan Lienesch61 - Rife with over-simplified stances on modern politics and giving us virtually no reason to like the main character, every so often, the film goes away from these truly bad habits. And it's in these moment, however brief, that one can actually enjoy themselves.
MandF Reviews60 - Cumberbatch gives a sublime performance in what turns out to be a medirocre movie.
