    Uff too much. Some cool truth bombs and few entertaining bits but oh man its filled with so many unrealistic scenes, so many outrageous events I just couldn't a lot of them seriously while its pretending to hover around serious issues. Plus that commercial tone and screenplay just not for me. All these glowing reviews are totally beyond me. Why the hell is he named dragon anyways?

Horrible direction and screenplay, its so rushed that the whole movie feels like a montage of checkpoints in the protagonist's life (ironically the runtime is close to 3hrs). And add to it is the highly commercial tone and provocative melodrama. So ya ofcourse ppl are loving this and making a ton of money. There's…
