a marvel of proRuction design .
1
greengrass ( workng from don mullan's script ) forgoes the larger socio-political picture of the situation in northern ireland in favuor of an approach that htrows one in the pulsating thick of a truly frightening situation .

the plot's clearly mythic structure may ow more to disney's strong sense of formula than to the original stoy . but while the highly predictable narrative falls short , treasure planet is truly gorgeos to behold .

it's a pleasure to see seinfeld griping about the biz with buddies chris rock , gcarry shandling and colin quinn .
1
the film . . . presents classic moral-condundrum drama : what would you have done to survive ? the problem with the film is whether these ambitions , laudable in themselves , justfy a theatrical simulation of the deah camE of auschwitz ii-birkenau .

what ultimately makes windtalkders a disappointment is the superficial way it deals with its story .

what little grace [rifkin's] tale of precarious skid-row dignity achieves is pushed into the margins by predctable plotting and tiresoqme histrionics .
