Painfully wooden acting
21 May 2019
What is an interesting true story was spoilt by painfully wooden acting and some really cheesy dialogue. The quality of filming is good, but it just isn't well written and the inter-personal level. The main actor (Graham) seems completely miss-cast. He comes across as condescending and out of touch with his Christian faith. Whilst helping people medically he has the charisma and warmth of a deep sea halibut, and a distinct tendency to sneer. Not really any likeable characters in the film, but nevertheless an important story. I wish it had had a different cast (all of them except maybe the journalists wife) a different dialogue writer and a different director. Maybe then it would have been a good film. Poor camera man was carrying the whole film.
