Indian director Mira Nair seemed like a good match for the biopic of legendary American pilot Amelia Earhart but film lacks any excitement associated with her who inspired and intrigued countless people around the world. The film faithfully details all her life up till her disappearance but the writing and directing is uninspired which is a shame. The talented cast includes Hilary Swank, Richard Gere, Ewan McGregor, Christopher Eccleston and Mia Wasikowska but they fail to overcome the inherent hurdles to save the film. Maybe because everything is so well known, it's hard to translate it on screen, at least literally, maybe the film needed a more unconventional approach. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
