Not a `feel-good' movie

Rating: Null/10 (20 November 2002)

Pacino was brilliant, but Robin Williams was not completely convincing as the murderer. The make-up people deserve an Oscar for making Pacino look progressively more and more exhausted as the film progresses. The sets are really depressing - this is not a `feel-good' movie and will do nothing for tourism to Alaska, which comes out as a tacky collection of shacks and bad modern architecture.
And yet, despite its strengths, somehow the film dragged and seemed to last a lot longer than it really did.
Not a film to see twice, but you have to see it once.
