The challenging task of determining the lesser of two evils (while delicately playing both sides as a politician, lover, scientist, etc.) more-so pins this movie as a beefed up drama rather than a biographical thriller for me. It provokes deep thought into ethics and service, while continuing to theorize the consequence of achievement.
