It only has a high rating because PSHoffman died. He was a great actor, one of my favorites.
But this was so freaking boring. If you need to take a nap in the afternoon, watch this or baseball. Take your pick, they both work.
Hi Devirginizer, baseball is boring, I agree with that. But this movie was not.
shareLunchboxwanderer, for someone who wanders in a lunchbox, I suppose this film would be boring.
This is a great film. It's a very interesting character study of four with superb acting all around (yes, by Hoffman most notably. Walken was great as well) and a beautiful score throughout.
Pyrotechnics and other hee - man blockbuster crap such as X-Man, The Hunger Games and God knows whatever else that you probably enjoy is boring crap....not this film.
It was boring and seemed pretentious to you, which is fair enough, but for me it was excellent, engaging, and emotionally thrilling. In tears for the last scene, of course. You'll note I make no kind of denigrating comments about action films, etc., because I like some of those, and detest the seemingly inevitable riposte to posts like yours, about what kind of movies you probably like, and how you should go watch one of your Stephen Seagal flicks, or whatever. I guess you'll just have to believe me and others, and open your mind to the fact that some people find this movie gripping, or enjoyable on various levels. It doesn't make your opinion less valid. It's just a fact of life: people have various tastes, and not all of them always overlap with other folks', including yours. That's all.
Multiplex: 100+ shows a day, NONE worth watching. John Sayles' latest: NO distribution. SAD.
Yeah, it was really boring, so I gave it a 10 out of boredom.
