OK, but not great. Powerful subject, handled with the right degree of respect and gravity. Yet, it is missing something to make it truly interesting. Seems to drag, particularly in the early and middle stages, and, in some ways, feel like a documentary.
Robert Connolly's direction often leaves a lot to be desired: odd/bad camera angles, unsteady tracking shots.
Decent performances though, especially by Anthony LaPaglia as Roger East and Oscar Isaac as Jose Ramos-Horta.
Worth watching for educational purposes, and to show the depths to which humans will sink, but don't watch it hoping for a great drama.
