One of the poorer editing jobs makes this tedious as hell

Rating: 4/10 (2 April 2005)

My first thought when this film ended was, "thank goodness it's over!" My second thought was that the director must have really fallen in love with his own work. Any film that runs three hours or more had better have a good reason for it...this one, simply put, had no reason at all.
This film is just BEGGING to be cut, with tons of unnecessary footage that makes each scene seem drawn-out and tedious. It's almost as though the director was trying to make this a long movie. What made it even worse was the gritty and unpleasant nature of most of the film, which creates viewer unease that the film length only protracts. Sheesh. Good acting, mediocre story and terrible editing add up to a thoroughly so-so experience. Truly a waste of time unless nothing bad enough is on TV.
