I have no idea what critics evaluate from but it seems to not include the fact was the film was entertaining. For me it was. This movie, from my perspective, was more about character rather than action, albeit action is in this film. The performers projected a sense of what they needed to do to project the sense of emotion. Everything seemed to be consciously and deliberately thought out and done with precision. So many films which receive less than a good rating seem to move towards box office hits and bring in piles of money. I have never agreed with a critic as in my experience many seem to get it wrong, especially for the general public. Of course, these are opinions just as my view is an opinion.

Tense albeit, my fear is that this is seen as sentimentalism given the emotions of the drone operators. During WWII and other conflicts where U.S. bombers dropped bombs from the sky, there is little difference except that from an aircraft you do not see the faces of women and children, and infants being taken out by these massive bombs. On a drone, the operators get up close and personal. Then again, in combat, men face their enemy one to one if many cases. My point is I guess if you are going to be a drone operator you best be well aware of what you are going to face or not no in. Overall the film was great. The acting was excellent, the filmography was excellent and the direction was very good.

I am a period fan, anything dealing with the past and new innovations that arrive with the approaching year 1883 is a fantastic series. The actors are in high professional performance and the direction is great. I could run a narrative about many aspects of the series but the best I can offer is to WATCH IT.

I give five stars only for the plot. Claire, I cannot stand because all her actions are the actions of an immature 17-year-old. As an experienced WWII nurse and all she experienced you would think she would have the maturity to grasp the immediacy of each situation but she acts so immature, so unreasonable in understanding where and when she is. Caitriona gives a great performance but either the Author or the Director had no sense of human perceptions, feelings, and intelligence regarding the significance of the uprooting from one period of history and flung into another. She displays absolutely no concept of the customs, behaviors, and norms that are acceptable to the society of the time she entered. She is engaged in more problematic behavior presenting danger at nearly every turn. Claire's behavior is a complete contrast to all the other characters, standing out like a sore thumb The storyline is the hook for me and kept and keeps me watching despite Claire's immature behavior. Fortunately, I can fast forward through some of this, especially all the sex scenes which do nothing to enhance the storyline. That is my opinion and problem, and nothing more. If you are thirsty for this level of action then so be it. To each his own poison. Is it worth watching? I have to say yes with the exception of Claire. As I proceed through this story, agonizingly and impatiently awaiting the next scene, Claire persists in her self-indulgent stupidity of history, customs, culture, morays, and a male-dominated, driven society of the period. The episode at Riverrun continues to demonstrate her childish view that whatever she believes must be followed regardless of the cost. Here she nearly costs to complete loss of Riverrun and other lives because of her failure to learn and grow from the experience. She does not appear to have the ability or interest to educate herself. As I progress through the series (Season 4) Briana exhibits the same childish attitude and behavior as her mother. One has to believe or at least hope, that these two educated women would have at least the common sense to recognize the time and place they are at in history. The rudeness, arrogance, and self-importance emanate from them like a Claxton. I cannot fault the author because I have not read the book.

This was a magnificent movie. Sandra Bullock at her finest hour. This is one of those movies you hate to see come to an end. When you discover the truth about Ruth it is heart-crushing, the sacrifices the human being will go to in the protection of their loved ones. This was the essence of humanity. The film is an emotional plunge, and you beg for sweet resolution, looking for hope.

It was a crazy time. Hate is something that is taught. I lived in the south and I can recall the feelings many young people had regarding black Americans. It is sad and have we made any progress. The movie was great. Jon Voight always does an excellent job.

Watched this in bits and pieces, not a binge. I have enjoyed this drama because it escapes the typical garbage produced by Hollywood. Did not miss the profanity at all. Director and actors performed well, very convincing. It is easy for me to recommend this drama if you are looking for something clean and well performed.

The direction and set were decent. I had a hard time with the language, the plethora of profanities that dripped in every scene. I do not believe, for a film to be successful that the pounds of profanity used was necessary. This is nothing more than medias attempt at desensitizing society. The forcing of people to accept another person's viewpoint. The potential for this film would have been great but the language killed the story. I can deal with a word or two here and there but the pounds and pounds of profanity made it difficult to view and listen to Just my perspective.
