Chop it Down

Rating: Null/10 (17 October 2003)

Just saw the movie, never read the book. This movie was long enough -- what an incredibly ridiculous last ten minutes. How long was this movie? Two and a half hours? My advice to those about to see it is to leave after the first two hours and twenty. I lost a lot of respect for the movie and was just shaking my head in disappointment after the tail of it.
And I don't care how rough a life the characters of Tim Robbins, Kevin Bacon, and Sean Penn had -- there is no WAY they should try to pass them off as guys in their mid-30's. The screenplay adaptation should have been tweaked to fix that one.
