Review: tell you how tedious , how resolutely unamusing , how thoroughly unrewarding all of this is , and what a reckless squandering of four fine acting talents 
Sentiment: negative

Review: great film noir 
Sentiment: positive

Review: its three-hour running time plays closer to two . 
Sentiment: negative

Review: the story is also as unoriginal as they come , already having been recycled more times than i 'd care to count . 
Sentiment: negative
