This third and final film completes the epic trilogy adapted from the novel written by Ayn Rand. After 12 years of suffering mysterious disappearances of society's most-productive individuals, the nation's economy is on the verge of collapse. As the government pursues policies imposing even greater brutality against those remaining, Dagny Taggart, Vice President of Taggart Transcontinental, must make a choice between saving the nation's collapsing infrastructure or the man she has come to love - the man who would stop the motor of the World.
They may have taken a few liberties with the original story and plot. Dagny is supposed to be strong, submissive, and intellectual. In part three, we have Dagny toting a gun. Why not just give her an ax?
John Gault is practical and elusive. Yet in the movie, John (Kristoffer Polaha) can be easily found, and it seems that he is into shock therapy. They make it look like he is into S&M.
Francisco d'Anconia is supposed to be Dagny's childhood buddy; now played (Joaquim de Almeida) at 50 looks more like Dagny's uncle; can you see her on his knee?
If you think the actors were a strange fit, wait until you watch the story.
The only redeeming thing is that it is better than not having a wrap-up film.
