Flat

Rating: 5/10 (26 December 2006)

"Flat".
The Good Shepard rolls along like a flat tire, blown out under its own weight.
The key points are predictable, the performances placid, and the running time (about three hours), a marathon.
If you have the patience, and the stamina... it is worth a look, but I'd wait for HBO.
What's going on at the studios these days? Doesn't anybody check their homework anymore? At least let someone who loves movies rate the final cut before you push it into theaters.
The score was completely inadequate and some thirty minutes should have been cut.
The bottom line:
A fair TV mini-series, not nearly polished enough for the big screen.
