Skip the beginning...slow

Rating: 6/10 (17 July 2012)

if you have a player that permits watching the movie in high speed then I would recommend doing that until you reach the tub scene following the visit inside a landed boat. Anything before that, although some crucial moments for the plot, are so incredibly slow your eyes might fall out just to see something interesting. It picks up after the boat scene but is still a pretty empty plot. The idea behind it is nice, simply a movie about a man who has lived his life numb on prescription meds and finally decides to live his life and experience pain, anxiety, sorrow, anger because these are human things. He no longer wants to travel through life numb with medication.
I follow the basis, but ... it just seems like a super long movie for such a simple point that you don't even realize they are making until the very end. Not a great movie. Not terrible, just not great.
