Good overall but too slow at times

Rating: 6/10 (16 September 2016)

'The Water Diviner' is a good movie with many positives aspects - the plot has depth, it is well acted out and Russell Crowe did a reasonably good job as director. You do, however, have to be patient and make an effort to stick with this movie because, in parts, it's very slow.
I also wasn't keen on the many flashbacks/flashforwards which didn't really add anything to the movie and just made the storyline harder to follow. There's nothing wrong with the plot itself but I felt it could have been executed better on screen.
Overall though I thought 'The Water Diviner' was a good movie with a plot with enough depth to keep it interesting.
