More 'Distant ' than closer, A Major Disapoinment, from Mike Nichols,

Rating: 1/10 (6 November 2006)

considering the talent involved 'Closer' is an overrated look at relationships in today's hectic times, 'Closer' was written by Patrick Marber, who turned his smash hit play in to a vulgar gritty and very uncompromising screenplay that has todays hottest acting talent involved. this film is a Major disappointment, considering a fine cast Julia Roberts(Bland as usual) Natalie Portman,(Childlike as always) Jude Law(More quality roles and performances please) and Clive Owen(powerful) Directed by Mike Nichols, the man who brought the superb Catch 22, to the screen, the film just doesn't quite do for the the screen what it done for the stage where it should of stayed,
