Wish it showed more real actions

Good acting, great devastating story, wonderful message.

However, I wish the movie showed more of how the main protagonist (Paul) managed to bribe/deal/confuse/trick the enemy. To me it is the thing that shows the strength of the character.

There had to be more trickary done then what was shown. I do understand that such take on a story would make a hero questioned in his his morals. Then again if portaid well that could have lifted the movie up more.

Somehow it feels that the story was not realized to its potential.

Unfortunately, you may want to research the "hero" of this movie further. It turns out that the hotel survivors and witnesses have radically different accounts of his actions.
