Well made film. The story is well thought out but no crime is without its accomplices even after the fact. The previous reviewer forgot that this film is based on a novel and is in no way factual. Some fools always feel the need to make moral judgements, no matter how many centuries old their notions are based. This movie has a surprising finish. Shhhh!
