An intense roller coaster ride (almost literally at one point) that had me riveted throughout. An amazing mix of drama, pathos, humor, joy, and action. Will everyone love it? Given the political and social issues that drive much of the action, there will undoubtedly be many who are put off by the film. If you firmly believe the myths that refugees to the US are folks just looking for a handout and bring only crime and disease into the country, then you should just stick with your Lee Greenwood tunes and stay home, as the movie will be triggering for you. Is it on the longer side? Yes, but it felt much shorter than the 2:42 running time. It is a complex film with multiple key characters, and time is not wasted in the development of the story.
