Not at all engaging- in fact the story only picks up at the end. In fact the first 2/3 of movie really tests your patience and is painstakingly boring, and the story only picks up during the later 1/3 of the movie. If I have to be honest,I only loved the last 1/3 of the movie and that ending was what made the film memorable. If we look at the film as whole though.....very average, in my opinion.
