This film shouldn't have been made for human viewing. In fact, it shouldn't have been made at all. The prostethics were rubbish, you could spot their faults miles off, the acting was pathetic and the plot was so simple it could have been decoded by an infant. Don't watch this movie unless you want to spend weeks afterwards trying to wash the filth out of your eyes.
As someone who participated in college debate and is still very involved in the scene, I am thrilled to finally see a movie that accurately depicts the activity.
De Niro is at his best! Williams is a tremendous serious actor. A real tear-jerker.....in my all-time top 5 favorites! I normally never watch a movie more than once, but I have watched this true story many times.
