Critical reception
TV Guide wrote, "this film is hard to swallow, but the nonstop action helps cover up the gaping holes in the plot."[2]
gollark: Not in significant amounts. And mostly not effective charities.
gollark: Yes, people are often really bad at interacting civilly with people who disagree with them.
gollark: They're with DS now, they can't respond to you.
gollark: One alternative interpretation I read somewhere was coordination problems - people don't do much because they feel like it won't be useful unless other people also do.
gollark: I'm not saying that they shouldn't care, to clarify, but that people don't, telling them their preferences are wrong is not really a winning strategy, and the lack of concern of most richer countries for poorer ones reflects most people's demonstrated attitudes.
