Just not my cup of tea.. I guess

Rating: 3/10 (7 July 2008)

It's definitely not a bad film by any stretch of the imagination, but it disappointed.
Daniel Day-Lewis was very good as usual, but his Irish accent didn't help in the role. The rest of the cast was pretty forgettable.
The story wasn't boring, it was just not as exciting as people made it out to be. The film starts out with about 10 minutes of no talking. Doesn't exactly keep you riveted to your screen.
*******************SPOILER************************ The whole Paul and Eli being twins was a bit confusing. Either, I didn't understand Day-Lewis' mention it (with his Irish accent), or they didn't mention it at all in the film until the end.
Why not use another actor? Or at least mention the fact that it isn't the same person. Seems like a very needless thing to do.
Overall I didn't really think this film was anything special. It almost seemed like they tried to hard to make this film a "masterpiece". It didn't convince me. That's just my opinion though!
