Art is evaluated by the power of the emotions it elicits. Those emotions range from happiness, to anger, to every single one us humans experience.
This movie is very powerful. It tells you only about yourself. Forget the incredible acting by all. Forget everything except the obvious question ...... what would you do to a man, his wife, and the 2 children to extract the information to stop a nuke from destroying a major city containing millions of fellow Americans. How far would you go, nobody else can direct your answer but you will ask yourself and you may not like. This is pure art ..... and because of that 5 stars
