Now, I can't tell you that this was action packed (though there IS plenty of action, mind you!), but it never felt like it was dragging or dull. The story of struggle and Bensin's willingness to be so self-sacrificing made him an intriguing character to me, and I enjoyed tagging along for his journey, watching the changes and challenges. And the fights! I was on the edge of my seat like I was in the stadium actually watching! Very well done. Bob says: 5 Platypires! |
