Good Not Great

Rating: 6/10 (8 February 2000)

While the movie has some great scenes, they are few and far between enough for boredom to set in. But don't fear, Brian De Palma's trademark blood and guts (And yes even brains) should be enough to make you squirm. De Niro traditionally bulked up for his role, but doesn't seem to have his heart in it, as much as in other roles anyways. Costner plays Ness well, if Ness was in fact an unemotional stiff. Connery saves it from being unwatchable. Is also filmed in sepia tones, to give effect of 1930's. Only added to my declining interest. Basically, a "guy's movie". Women beware.
