Good half a film

Rating: 5/10 (6 January 2002)

Okay, I've heard the usual "you'll love it or hate it" comments about this film. I'm actually right in the middle. If the film had maintained the intensity it had in the first half, it would have been a good (not great) film. Instead, it decays badly. And, doesn't everyone groan when they hear those contemporary songs twisted and forced into this movie? I couldn't bear to watch the tango version of Roxanne (you don't have to put out that red light...).
Oh, and if you're going to fill your film with familiar music, don't write some extra original slop like "Come What May" as obvious bait for an Oscar nomination.
