coming from Oliver Stone i guess i expected more than what i got, this one was soooo. long and drawn out, i think the story could have been told in much better fashion by another director easily. i usually enjoy oliver stone movies.. i.e. j.f.k. but this one,, not really, i mean bi men,, kissing, i about threw up,, it disgusts me personally. didn't even recognize val kilmer at all, is that good or bad. angelina jolie, way underused in this one.. and colin farell, way out of place geesh. it was a very good story , don't get me wrong, just that stone as usual has too much information, and you have to think this movie, from start to finish.. kept flashing back 9 years earlier, so you just get it,, and then it goes back 9 more years, then 9 more, i'm thinking why not 10,, why is it 9. anyway i think that i would have enjoyed this movie better, had they cut out about 1 hr and 15 mins. and left out the guys kissing.
