She soon realizes how serious the situation is, and that no one is to be trusted. And her courage and determination sees her through.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eCate Blanchett shows yet again what an amazing actress she is, the new Meryl Streep, but with a warmer aura. Watching her on the screen never gets boring, and even though the movie is somewhat slow moving at times, it really left me craving for more. 4 out of 5!”
