Don't Understand!

Rating: 5/10 (4 June 2002)

A brief review, not even, as I do not want to compete with the wonderful other "Users Comments" both positive and negative. They have all been marvelous. The acting was superb, how can it not be with those magnificent actors? However, the make up artists also deserve a special plaudit for their job on Pacino's insomnia looking countenance. (Or is he just starting to look his age?) So very many movie buffs have been non-plussed by the film and agreed that it was convoluted and disappointing. Why then in "Rotten Tomatoes" did it get about 109 reviews from the pros????----104 being fresh, and about 6 being smashed. Who's right, the audience or the critics---Again are we dealing with "The Emperors New Clothes" syndrome.
