Disappointed

Rating: Null/10 (11 June 2004)

As I was viewing this movie, I thought that I must be the only one in the world that is not excited. I found the movie to be slow paced. I have seen much better performances from the actors. Don't get me wrong, all the acting was well done, but not exceptional. Sean Penn fared the best. Kevin Bacon was very bland. Tim Robbins part was played well,but again, not Oscar worthy. He should have been given more screen time.(I thought that Oscar nominee Alec Baldwin played a better role in " The Cooler.") There was depth in the story, but I think it could have been deepened more. After reading all the good hype about this movie, I was prepared to view an excellent movie. I was disappointed..
