Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: It’s pretty much non-stop excitement.
Con: The political message is very heavy-handed.
The ending drags.
It’s hard to see why the characters endangered their children the way they did.

Really well-paced. The fact that they did risk their family makes it clear how important this was to them.
