am a great fan of martin having watched Irishman etc etc. never a boring moment storyteller. in this movie, it started off 45mins well, then it got draggy, boring, slow and conversational. there are so many materials available on black gold era period, could have infused them well cinematically. some nice opening aerial shots were amazing with great sets but all spoilt with over conversational elements. make sure you slept rested well prior watching this, otherwise go easy
conversational story tell
