Tedious

Rating: 3/10 (27 November 2007)

I'm sorry but i found this film absolutely tedious, on paper this looked an interesting account of somebody's disillusionment with the material world and an escape into the wilderness, i would be more critical if the story had not been true and such a tragic waste of life.
I'm a big fan of Sean Penn but there were several techniques that for me didn't work for example the Little House On The Prairie meets The Waltons narration and the annoying post card wordage on the screen, the most irritating aspect was the performance of the leading actor, if i met this guy for 5 minutes i would be making excuses to hit the trail, opinions eh.............................
