Despite its occasional missteps, the film relates its important and sadly too-little-known story with skill and efficiency.

No God, No Master has an authentic period feel. But Green is focused on so many historical figures and potential storylines that the film feels rushed and, at times, confusing.

It’s clunky, it’s hokey, it was clearly made on the cheap. It’s also ambitious in a way that more expensive films are rarely allowed to be anymore.

Green's historical diligence proves rewarding... But the movie, shot largely in Milwaukee in 2009, can still be dry.

So much blandly sweeping, speechifying history and so little personalized dramatic focus turn No God, No Master into a series of issue-driven snapshots instead of something genuinely illuminating.

The dialogue needs work. LBut it sounds like“agent Flynn” is trying to sound Irish. But if I recall my history correctly Flynn is a name from the South of Ireland and David Strathairn sounds like he is trying out a Northern Ireland accent every now and then! Skip the accent.ocation shoots look good. But it could have been better.
