Not bad

Rating: Null/10 (29 December 1998)

I avoided this for a long time, even though I am a Leonardo fan. It was not that bad at all. I enjoyed Claire Danes and Leo, but the best scene was Harold Perrineau's rendition of "Young Hearts Run Free". It was a stroke of genius on the part of the director to put old pros like Margolyes, Postlethwaite and Venora in this movie, as they know their way around a scene like nobody's business. It's certainly more interesting than the version Kenneth Branagh will make, someday.
