A mixed Bag

Rating: 5/10 (23 June 2006)

I am a big Steven Spielberg fan and have seen most of his pictures that have come to Charlotte, North Carolina. So when it was showing locally I beat a path to the theater. I could not get into the movie in the first half and found some of the dialog very hard to understand. The second half of the movie was much better and I was able to get into the story. For the most part the cast was made up of unknowns with the exception of Geoffrey Rush who played the part of Ephraim in the movie. I thought that Eric Bana who was the main character was very good in his part and look forward to seeing him again in some other feature production. I cannot strongly recommend this movie so go plunk down your money and you decide.
