3 stars (Good Enough) Very heavy on the politics with plenty of name calling and melodrama - worth a look. ~Tubbs

3 stars (Good Enough) 3/5 - A good illustration of the mess the English-French did when they split the Ottoman empire. This story is a bit like peeling an onion, with more to come below. The 2 main actors are good, the story telling not so for our Hollywood educated culture. ~Anonz
