The film does a decent job of portraying the real events and a few captions at the end credits tell us of some of the aftermath that follows. There is some decent acting from the main characters of Jackson and MacLachian and good back up jobs from the lesser roles. Like many true story re-enactments, the fact that what your watching is more or less true takes it film up a notch or two. So the thing you take away from this film is that this actually happened and not that its a brilliant film. However, given that it doesn't stray too far from the truth, it's a great visual addition to just reading about it. Well worth watching as it's shocking, well acted, pretty true to its source and it's by far the best TV film you'll ever watch.
