And the point was?

Rating: 5/10 (18 April 2008)

I am somewhat a fan of Daniel Day Lewis, even though I only liked him in Last of the Mohicans, so I went into this movie with a certain set of reservations. I didn't mind the lack of dialog in the first half because the story told itself very well. But as I watched more and more I got a funny feeling. And then at the end I knew what it was. Though riveting to watch from a visual perspective this movie is empty. I kept waiting for something important to happen between the major characters, something really revealing, something worthy of an Oscar winning performance...but it didn't happen. Beside that fact the music was more than annoying. 5/10
