surprise surprise I LOVED it!

Rating: Null/10 (12 July 1999)

Our library just got this flick and not being a particular Brad Pitt fan, I didn't think I'd really sit down and watch at 3 hours long.But since it was already a day late, it's 10pm and I'm still awake I said what the hey,you love Anthony Hopkins, just watch the first half. Right! Once I started there was no going back. My favorite thing about this flick is it wasn't what I thought it was going to be.I had some notion that Brad was death and falls in love with Anthonys daughter,blah blah blah. Just an interesting film that made me grateful for what and whom I have in my life and those are always worthwhile. I think the best surprise for me was the daughters reaction when Brad comes back over the bridge. Just a neat flick. Some good lines for Brad and Anthony and while 3 hours may be long, they maintained the pacing throughout so nothing seems rushed or suddenly put together and it hits you with a wallop. I will be watching again!
