Raiting of 8: NO WAY!

Rating: 4/10 (17 October 2014)

I give it 4. I never wrote a review before, but seeing the average of 8.1 gave me the feeling I never will be able to trust IMDb User Raitings again. 2 hours an 6 minutes of common places, rigid dialogs, bad acting, predictability, round of applause and trips to Europe: this are the ingredients of this film which abuses the resource of the drama around a serious illness and turns it in to a cheesy movie with no breakthrough-message at all. I rescue Willem Dafoe's character, Van Houten. Mr Dafoe is an amazing actor and he plays a round, solid and believable character with an interesting unexploited story. I haven't read the book, maybe it is bearable. The movie is just a low punch.
