Captivating political/ethical drama, but problematic. Ray's color films lack the glorious splendor of his b&w work. The images are drab, ugly, lifeless and flat. The sets look cheap, the editing is erratic, and the performances are stilted. The plot is wrapped up far too easily, tied up in a bow in the last 3 minutes, and lines are too clearly drawn between the good guys and the bad guys. It's a shame, really, it could have been a great work. A riveting story but one told too sloppily.
