Yet another over rated Clint Eastwood movie

Rating: 3/10 (22 June 2004)

I truly do not understand why Clint's movies get such good reviews. This movie is soooo slooow and soooo boring I could hardly stay awake.
#120 of all time? Puleeze. Excellent cure for insomnia is more like it.
Good performances by Tim Robbins and Sean Penn, wooden acting by Kevin Bacon and Laurence Fishburne is...well...a train wreck. Very tedious treatment of a decent book. But then all Clint's movies are like this - too slow, too long, too predictable, too dull.
Not satisfying on any level, particularly with such hype. 4/10
