vote no on this movie

Rating: 3/10 (3 February 2008)

This is the kind of movie people like because they feel like they're supposed to like it -- like they'll feel like they're missing out on the big joke and they'll get thrown out of the cool kid club if they admit they don't like it.
Daniel Day Lewis is compelling, and Dano was a great preacher-boy, but other than that, the film lagged. And having Dano play both parts without explanation was a ridiculous idea. The images, while present, were not nearly enough to carry a movie like that.
Unhitch yourselves from what your movie-school friends might think of you if you voice an opinion. Vote no on this movie.
