Average viewer score of 5.4/10 from 197 ratings.
Either one of the two stories might have been engaging on their own, if they hadn't shown their hand from the very start. A disappointment to know this comes from Kathryn Bigelow. _Final rating:★★ - Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product._
