Just - not good

Rating: 4/10 (23 July 2004)

With all the great movies that came out in 2003, I find it hard to believe that this film was rated so high. Tim Robbins was pretty darn weird, so I give him credit where acting credit is due, but the film is depressing all the way through for starters. I'm not certain that I "liked" any of the characters in the story. The plot was a tired rehash of so many others. The ending was very unsatisfying. What more can I say. I think you get the gist of my opinion. I wish "Master and Commander" would have been on Pay Per View as I had hoped in the time slot that I had designated for movie watching, then I wouldn't have settled for "Mystic" and probably wouldn't have felt that I wasted the evening and my $3.99. Guess I'll make that trip to the video store next time. It's times like these that I'm convinced it's worth it.
