Long, drawn out film with characters I didn't give a crap about

Rating: 1/10 (16 July 2004)

I have no idea why this movie has been given the recognition it has- here's why:

Poor acting (except from Fishburne and a few scenes with that kid from the Sandlot) - Poor writing (this was the same predictable movie I have seen 1,000 times.

I know it was based on a book- my point is to find a more original storyline) - Poor editing (what on earth was that music?! Anyone? Anyone? Music/Sound has a HUGE impact on a film- look at Aronofsky's "Pi" and "Requiem for a Dream")
If you haven't seen the movie, don't. You won't care one bit about anything that happens because nothing was developed well enough to entice an audience. Save yourself the 2+ hours.
