The movie was excellent. The producers and directors did a great job of making the movie seem as close to reality as possible. Furthrmore, Hillary Swank and Richard Gere did exellent acting jobs in their respective roles. The film did not have a happy ending but that is ok since it is based on a true story. Not all situations in life have happy "Hollywood Movie" endings. If you're looking to see a film that depicts reality at its best than I highly recommend you see Amelia.
