Good movie that could have been better

Rating: Null/10 (15 December 2002)

There are things about this movie that fascinate me. Anthony Hopkins once again shows his mastery of the craft. The only sad part is that I could see and feel others in the cast trying to come up to the level of Hopkins. Normally, this would have been helped by proper editing. Here it is amplified, especially in the case of Brad Pitt ... not a knock of Pitt, just the way his part came off in this movie. For me, the Jamaican accent came off a bit forced. Forlani came off well. I disagree with some who said her part did not have enough dialogue. Here, it would have made her character seem sappy. I will watch this movie again. Hopkins is just too good ... Today's Alec Guinness or Spencer Tracy.
