+ Solid performances by the two main protagonists with great support by the other casts
+ Shot realistically with tense and personal cinematography, lingering in each scene
+/- Mass media interjection and any Hollywood cinematic 'creative license' taken on the exact journey of the event could make or break a person's opinion on the movie
