Sap. Pure sap.

Rating: Null/10 (13 November 2003)

At first I thought the movie would be OK- most of the acting was decent (save for Nicholas Cage's embarrassing Italian accent- I half expected him to tell Pelagia "I want to suck your blood"), the island the characters lived on was beautiful, and the plot seemed like it could be good if it was done right. Unfortunately, it wasn't. The dialogue was embarrassing, all attempts to show the devastation of war were sugarcoated horribly and insultingly, and the characters all turned out to be irritating. The movie never really grabs you- it's a cliched love story, not much more.
