hoping for Oscars....

Rating: 1/10 (30 May 2004)

Through out this film there are speeches made by some of the lead characters, sequences crying to be used at the Academy Awards when the nominees for best actor are announced. Close-ups of anguished faces here and there.
This is a mediocre thriller devoid of excitement. The murder is explained at the end but there are many holes in the story. The reasons for the killing were quite weak. This movie is slow and dull. Too many talky scenes between the policemen. How many more movies do we have to see with disagreeing cops?

Only thing worth watching during the two hours was Marcia Gay Hardens nervous performance. This is certainly not the classic Oscar winner it is trying so hard to be. I´m going to forget it.
