See it again and tell me if you still like it

Rating: 3/10 (30 March 2005)

Well I'am very confused about myself concerning this film. The first time I saw it (about two years before) I was greatly impressed and its end really shocked me. Recently I recommended it to my wife and proposed her to see it together. The video player started and I was sitting by her ready to respond to her admiration (as I expected). What happened really shocked me. It was not about her but rather about me. I discovered a sluggish scenario, an intolerable cool looking Willis, an unrealistic performance by a 10 year old child, gaps, Jumps and oversimplifications in the story and so on. Approaching the end my wife told me, what kind of crap you made me see and lost my evening, he is also dead isn't he? I surprisingly responded, how did get it? well!! piece of cake, she replied, even a child can foresee it. That was the end of all. She has a good judgment of movies so her phrase shock me. The magic was all lost. Conclusion. This is the first time it happened to me. Usually when I see a film again it is because I am sure 100% that it worth it. I am a voracious film eater and I cant be wrong. Final comments. A childish scenario, a commercially promoted film that otherwise could be a masterpiece in another director's hands. If I rate this with 3 then "The others" and Nicol Kindman as the key actor is rated 10.
