Overlong and Unoriginal

Rating: 2/10 (22 December 2005)

I wanted to like "The Rookie." I like sports romances. I like director John Lee Hancock's other work. The soundtrack included the likes of John Hiatt, one of my faves (thoughthere wasn't much in original songs and the songs weren't very illustrative).
I like Dennis Quaid (nice to see that smile again) and Rachel Griffiths (who is given almost nothing to do except prove that she's not always crazy "Brenda" from "Six Feet Under").
But I was bored silly and simply lost concentration by the time the end finally came.
Overlong and unoriginal.
