I was at first unsure of this because I so loved the first film starring Sean Connery. But because of John Tutturo (who I find is extrodinary as an actor!) I had to see it !! I loved it immensely! I am very happy I saw it .
All the elements of this movie serve the depth and nuance of an exceptionally well written novel. Astonishing!
Awesome! Very enjoyable and recommendable!
Excellent. Every aspect---casting, acting, direction, cinematography, costumes. Bravo.
History does repeat itself. 5 STARS
