You know how it happens during the Oscars; cine fans are normally spoilt for choice. Expectations run high especially for ones that have bagged a nomination. But sorry to disappoint you guys, this aviation film by director Mira Nair (based on the book East To The Dawn-The Life of Amelia Earhart by Susan Butler) is shockingly unsatisfactory, dragging and plain.

Two-time Academy Award winner Hilary Swank plays Amelia in a role that's seems too superficial and sketchy. But the actress surely looks her part with her hairstyle and leather jackets.
