Not as expected...

Rating: 3/10 (12 September 2002)

Not to sound like Simon Cowell from American Idol, but this movie was just boring and average to me. The story in itself would be the only reason Id give it some points. I'm not even a huge fan of Russell Crowe but I did feel he gave a great performance, and Jennifer Connelly is well deserving of her oscar. The biggest flaw in this film was its inability to actually start-I got bored halfway through. It was also highly assumable. *SPOILER* Who didn't know that whats-their-name was not real? I know its not the point of the movie, but to some it up-it did not stay interesting enough for me to finish it happily.
