1. Quality

2. Summary

   Very Good 3.5

   Terrific movie that works primarily as a classic Hollywood action drama, yet also delivers a lesson about recent evil in the real world. Thankfully, the preaching rarely supersedes the story, making this a message movie that keeps its priorities straight: entertain us and the message will be easy to swallow.

4. Acting

   Very Good 3.5

   Leonardo DiCaprio and Djimon Hounsou deliver bravura performances as an amoral smuggler and a stout hearted father, respectively.
