Greatness missed

Rating: 5/10 (26 September 2004)

I read that this film was nominated for 7 Oscars!
The film plays out in a way that is first confusing. Then it makes it into a pretty dull story.
When 50% has been played out the plot turns very predictable! I had to stop the film and write down what was going to happen next.
Sadly I was right.
But the actors does a good job. I especially like Jude Law. But since his appearance in AI (Spielberg)I have understood that this is a star rising fast!
I get the gut feeling that this film was someones dream to put a very good book on the silver-screen. It should have stayed in the book.
