Much, much, MUCH too long..

Rating: 7/10 (19 November 2009)

The first three times I caught this film on television, I was unaware that I had missed (at least) the first hour. (Hey, call me stupid, but this is a fact.) Given that, it became one of my favorite movies.
On the 4th viewing, I saw the entire film from the beginning and... Oh, what a difference! This film does not need the first hour to be good. If, on my first viewing, I had begun at the beginning, I probably would not have watched it at all.
My verdict: Hollywood screwed up.
If you get a chance to see this film on the tube, I advise you to tune in one hour late. And enjoy!
