Am I missing something?

Rating: 7/10 (11 March 2006)

I just finished watching this movie and I have read some of the other peoples comments...am I missing something??? I have rated this movie 7 out of 10 simply because it has some great acting and 2 great actors but as far as the storyline goes...?? I thought the subject matter was very interesting but I think that a little more could have been done with it. Maybe I was expecting too much after hearing and reading others comments. I did like the scenery very much and the over all look of the movie, but at times I reached for the remote control thinking I would skip ahead to something interesting. I endured it without skipping ahead and I am not unhappy about that, but I did wonder at times...is this movie nearly over?? I had hoped for a different ending ( can't say too much and spoil it for others ) and I guess the ending we got was what life is like. I would have rated it more than 7 if it was a little shorter in some areas and focused more in other areas. But generally speaking, it is worth watching and judging for yourself. A fairly good way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon!
