Puzzling

Rating: 2/10 (27 December 2006)

I thought the movie was shot nicely. The scenery was spectacular but one thing bothers me........where was the indication that led up to these two guys to jump on each other? I watched the beginning of the film a few times (yes, I am a screener recipient) and I just couldn't find it. That is the one thing that spoiled the story for me. The rest of the film had no basis just because of no build up to the tent scene. Anbody else that I bring this point up with has no answer either which leads me to the conclusion that the majority of film goers really don't care to see a movie that has a 'beginning' , 'middle' or an 'end' regarding the story plot. OK.......maybe it has a beginning and an end but where in hell is the "middle"? The "middle" being the build up of the relationship. So they like to herd sheep................is that it? It was just a job they took on. So everybody that has a job of herding sheep has a tendency of jumping on his/her partner??? No...........................the writers and director didn't do a very good job of this. After reading some of the other comments, I must add that I ,too, had a hard time understanding the MUMBLED dialog. Don't the studios 'get it'?? Isn't this the job of the soundman? I'd fire the S.O.B. or was it the mixing editor..........either one, the producers and director should have caught this. But a lot of this kind of thing goes on with many films. It's just plain old sloppyness and "they" call themselves "professionals"........yeah, right!
