Great in the first half,but mediocre later...


I really love the beginning, with the direction and plot, but afterward i lost my interest. The movie seemed to be too much fuss about nothing, since Arkadin was so rich but he waited all these years for a perfect stranger to look into his unknown past...And later what happened was a little awkward or clumsy for me...Not bad, but had potential for better, in my view. 7/10

I'd agree for the most part. There were some good parts in the second half but it was definately weaker.
