disappointing

Rating: 6/10 (13 March 2006)

A very slow paced story- the pace does allow detail, and thus perhaps better than average USA film, but here it is a little shallow, and a little laboured.
The production is a bit careless. e.g. a lingering shot of a multi million dollar view from the happy couples apartment - shows a barge on the Thames that is stationary, (highly unlikely in real life).
The story is a dark one, introspective, and perhaps a little pretentious. Woody gives us a clue when the main character reads Dostoevsky.
Maybe a project to keep Woody occupied for a few months, but not a masterpiece.
