Another Netflix Dudd.

Rating: 3/10 (2 January 2019)

I watched this movie, having been intrigued by the trailer, but to be honest I didn't have very high expectations as I can't remember what the last good Netflix produced movie was that I watched, and sadly this movie adds to Netflix's ever increasing in-house catalog of mediocre movies.
The film runs at over 2hrs, and it has to said it makes you feel every minute ebb away, as another minute you won't get back.
This is a shame as Sandra Bullock while not my favorite actress, does carry the movie and puts in a good effort, but unfortunately she on her own can't breathe enough life into this slow cumbersome movie.
My biggest issue in these types of movies, is they expect you to suspend belief, but this is only possible if people act in a reasonably logical manner, which unfortunately they do not, which makes watching this movie even more frustrating, as I can't suspend belief if the script/direction has people act in such illogical ways.
There is so much that is not explained, and we are supposed to just fill in the blanks for ourselves, but maybe it's just me, but when I try to do this, I cannot come to the same conclusion and direction that the director did.
I am aware that this film is an adaptation of a book, and it could be possible that the director, couldn't provide the story justice, Either way the film was just not that enjoyable, its not that it was a terrible film, but if it was a colour it would be grey, as it was just plain dull.
I am aware that everyone sees things through their own optics, but I could not see this movie in any otherway.
