Draggy, draggy, draggy...

Rating: 4/10 (5 November 2017)

The opening almost caused me to turn this movie off. So boring, long, draggy, oh dear, oh dear! You'd think that a film starring the great Anthony Hopkins and the popular Brad Pitt would be marvellous, but it is NOT. And the gal cast as Hopkins' "beautiful" daughter is dreadful, irritating and annoying. How could such a mis-casting take place in 1998? Were there no other candidates? SO MANY times during this picture, I found myself yelling "Get on with it!". So often it ground almost to a halt, seemed like a rehearsal with all parties hung over. Anthony Hopkins has certainly refined to a fine art, the skill of s-p-e-a-k-i-n-g s-l-o-w-l-y. Overall, this movie has some merit, but far, far less than it should have had. A major disappointment.
