I truly admire Bruckheimer, Anspaugh, Garcia and the writing duo of Bass and Rusconi for making this movie. They did so in 1999, and 23 years later, Roe vs. Wade has been overturned and the film has suddenly become timely and relevant. In addition to admiring their ambition in tackling such a complicated, political, difficult and worthy subject, there are many fine moments in the film. That said, the overall experience was ruined for me by many unrealistic, unbelievable scenes and some very clumsy dialogue. This subject would have been much better served by a multi-part mini series than a 90 minute feature. With more time it could have been told in a realistic and nuanced way.
