Great cinematography, but that's all

Rating: 4/10 (7 October 2018)

Predictable, oversentimental, clichéd. Sometimes those who have vested interest, manipulate the media to persuade us something is better than it actually is. And then we all feel a little awkward to admit what we really feel. To challenge that maybe it isn't as good as we are expected to agree. This is one of those films. Scratch the surface, just below the admittedly fine cinematography, and there is little depth to plumb. The story line is just about as predictable as they come. Each scene following on from the previous one in typical Hollywood fashion, is as expected, no surprises, no deeper, and original narrative. It follows the standard, old school Hollywood formula, satisfies the pre planned, easy watching storyline which asks no questions, doesnt challenge the viewer, just regurgitates the cloying, sentimental film-by-numbers formulae we have seen a thousand times before.
