Yeah, it's actually quite good, a biographical film where the main actor really makes an effort to get people more interested in him. There are moments here that are excellent and clearly say that no one is as they appear at first glance - or on television. But still, I can't help feeling that it's something I've already seen before. The film is not particularly great at anything.
