Disappointment

Rating: Null/10 (31 December 1999)

I was disappointed. I was expecting more.
After months of build-up to this film I had such high expectations going in that I came out a little let down. I was expecting a masterpiece worthy of Academy Awards and all the rest. Unfortunately, all I found was an everyday movie.
Don't get me wrong. It was a fine film and was worth the time and money. I just didn't see it as the superb piece of art I was expecting.
During the course of this movie we grew to loathe our protagonist. I hated him more every second that the movie continued. Then for the final ten minutes of the film they attempt to turn the premise of the movie around and make us feel pity. I just couldn't.
It was interesting, and fascinating having the knowledge that it was true to life and I would recommend it to anyone. Just be warned not to set your expectations too high.
