Good but dull in some places.

This film has many good aspects, like that it tells a true story or that it has good actors,but it also has a few bad sides. I didn't like that it has such a good selection of actors but it just didn't feel like they were were acting as well as they could've acted. i also didn't like that the two opponents (Westinghouse and Edison) didn't argue like it was a war. The film is literally called The Current WAR. it just wasn't really a war between the two. The film was OK , but i did learn something about history of electricity which was good.
