Slow

Rating: Null/10 (24 November 2005)

I didn't hate this movie, but is isn't a very good one. On the positive side the photography is very nice. The movie is very slow and lacks the twists we've come to expect in M's previous movies. Not every movie has to have a twist, you say, and I agree. This movie fails in other ways. Many scenes are photographed with the actors a long distance from the camera which removes any intimacy from the scene and give the movie an odd feeling of detachment. Many scenes are filmed from behind the actors or over their shoulders. The relationships between the characters are poorly written. Sigourney Weaver is wasted in this film. Now that I am writing about this film it dawns on me that it really was a very poor film. I can't recommend it at all.
