A film that takes a lot of time to go no where....

Rating: 2/10 (4 February 2005)

It was a real disappointment. There is no better way to put it. I have been know to be a harsh reviewer of things but this film does not deserve such strong words. It simply was a let down. Long, dull, and slow are some of the words that best describe the English Patient (which I think should be entitled "The Patient English"). This film followed the story of several uninteresting characters who didn't do very much in an exceptionally long amount of time. It was supposed to "revolve" around the relationships of the various characters. It did revolve around the characters but the characters were of no interesting sort. This film had no particular "flair" about it either. One person compared it to Casablanca. That should be a sin. Casablanca is a classic, alone in its own class. This film is a C Grade Horror compared to Casablanca.
If there were any further comment needed, it would be that this film will probably appeal to women rather than men.
