Very good, but extremely long movie!!

Rating: Null/10 (27 August 2002)

I think the editors were afraid to cut on this one - as far as I'm concerned, the film did not justify the budget... way too long, many scenes and side-tracking plot lines could have been done without. Brad Pitt was okay - by no means fantastic, but not bad either. His accent was a little uneven and at times he lost it completely. The only really incredible performance in the film was by the young Dalai Lama - just fantastic!

By the end of the film, I felt sort of cheated, but there were some really good moments - obviously a Brad Pitt vehicle though. Disappointing.
