Biopics of any sort are always risky in that they
are inevitably predictable. Such is the nature of a rather tame beast. After
all, the life and events of the film’s subject matter tend to be already etched
in the minds of the audience before ticket is even bought. Moreover, because
the story is not only known but known to be real, the genre is often overly
conservative in how predictable it is, relying on imitation over innovation.
