extremely tedious

Rating: 5/10 (3 June 2000)

This was an extremely boring movie...the last quarter of the film had some excitement to it, but it was not entertaining enought to justify the first three quarters of the movie. I was also incredibly bored by the performance (or lack thereof) of Thandie Newton. She was in the majority of the film but only had about 15 lines. I grew rapidly weary of her just standing there, not saying a word, supposedly looking breathtakingly beautiful and noble....give me a break. Save yourselves a few dollars and wait for it to appear on video as this movie was not worth the price of admission.
