The movie is too lengthy to watch and you immediately feel bored in the start itself. American Peace Initiative (API), details are not clearly shown at the start, so I felt that I missed and confused at the start. Even though the film has high production values to it, the lack of details in the story is a huge drawback.
My Rating 5/10
