The Reader is disappointing.

Rating: 1/10 (16 May 2009)

This film is very disappointing. Kate Winslet doesn't normally do bad films, but here she has stained her perfect record. The idea was good but the film was bad. Ralph Fiennes is over acted, he has gone downhill since his days in "The English Patient".
Stephen Daldry used to direct excellent films (The Hours, Billy Elliot) but now there is a stain in his perfect record too. I found this film at times boring and slow. In general, this film is an example of good talent wasted.
I think it isn't worth paying for it at the cinema or in a video-club, if you are curious to see a bad film download it. I would have preferred not seeing this film, because before I thought Kate Winslet was a great actress but I couldn't imagine she would do a film like this.
I give it a 1/10.
