Conclusion: 3/5
I enjoyed the first half more than the second half. I did think that it was far too long for what it was standing in at 2h 21m. I do think that James Norton is a fantastic actor although not sure he is really film material. Just some of the themes that this include are truth and journalism, humanitarian crisis and suffering and personal sacrifice.
