James Franco was fantastic! He has so much of the James Dean characteristics that he fits this kind of role to a tee. He acted brilliantly as usual and his leading man capabilities are endless. James Franco was a perfect match for this role. Martin Henderson actually wasn’t horrible to watch, his acting has certainly improved from his days on Shortland Street, but as much as he tries to be a serious actor, he just comes off wrong and also his character’s pet lion was random, probably true to life but completely out of place. The flight sequences were fantastic. They were very heavily reliant on CG but the choreography of the sequences was flawless.
This film is based on a true story, so I can’t critique the storyline too much but there were flaws in the writing, and flaws in the elaboration of the story itself.
Overall this was a great film to watch.
