Title: Excellent story, well made film.
Review: No need to rehash the story -- the other reviews here do that quite nicely. The film is powerful in an understated way, made particularly compelling thanks to excellent location work in many of the real locations, and of course, the suspenseful subject matter. Everything is well crafted, with lots of fascinating detail. My only minus was that I felt it was a bit heavy on narration. Nevertheless, the film will keep you riveted for 140 minutes, which can't be said for many current films. Sadly, the DVD contains no bonus features, which is why I couldn't give the product 5 stars. It would have been great to have a commentary about the real events, or even a little 10 minute featurette. Regardless, it's a worthy addition to your DVD library.
