21 Rubies

I will start by mentioning that I never had high hopes for this movie, despite the actors in it, some of which are actually good. Still, I was disappointed.

The characters are so underdeveloped that it's impossible to empathize with any of them. The officials are badly-written, simple caricatures of the ones in real life. The choice of actors for some parts is rather uninspired. Official protocol was, apparently, not worth researching, for whatever reason. In fact, nothing seems researched at all. The scenario is superficial and unclear in its message, a mixture of ideas, scenes and stories that, taken individually, might have made some sense but, together, they have no reason to exist in the same film.

In conclusion, the movie itself is, unfortunately, nothing more than a waste of time and the talent in it. In the end it makes very little sense.
