Review of The East (2013) by L Y — 09 Mar 2014

There were some slow moments but overall it kept me very interested in both the characters and the story. And I won't deny it - there were plenty of moments when I was holding my breath, going, are they going to drink the champagne??? - along with other suspenseful scenes that seem almost silly in retrospect.

I wish there was more delving into the organization and all the members and take a little focus off of the budding romantic relationship between the main characters cuz I really didn't think there was much chemistry there and I was fascinated by the members of the group - who they were and why they were there.

Wish we learned about some of the other characters a bit more. Obviously preachy but I think the movie brings up good points and questions and is a good starting point to think about the issues the movie brought up.
