    You may enjoy the movie “Sovereign”.

    It’s just not true in practice: it’s pretty typical to find films with high rotten tomatoes scores and not very high metacritic scores; rotten tomatoes scores are pretty much useless unless you are not very discerning.

    Examples:sovereign, how to make a million…, count of monte cristo, etc

    Gonna take this opportunity to recommend Sovereign.

    Imho it's the best of the movie of the year, and one big reason is because it is NOT this.
