In the unfolding of the major theme the story lacks dramatic intensity, and little effort is made to justify the action of the central character. Go to Full Review

Hermione S Mar 13, 2018 The Taylor's do well in this political thriller, with Rob being the golden boy with a hidden, difficult past and Liz just gushing with emotional self-conscience. Fairly standard film making don't detract from the script, which got two stars who perhaps gave more than this production deserved. See more
