Boring movie with sad ending

Rating: 7/10 (12 March 2008)

At first i wasn't too sure about showing us all that was happening in this film. a lonely cross - country hiker trying' to find peace within himself , blaming' his upbringing... it goes on & on....with not much highlights when he's on the road. a lonely romantically depressed guy..... Just when i was going to shut it down cause it could'n kept me watching anymore....The ending showed us that this was actually based on a true story. I felt sorry for his ' undergoing ' in nature , his sliding out of sanity & life.... his miserable loneliness. some nice nature shots , but far too long lasting.Penn should have taken one hour off-it.Would have made a stronger movie !
