Fine acting does not a great film make...

Rating: Null/10 (22 September 2008)

If a big name talented actor or two are in a film and enough money is spent on hype a movie can be made to appear better than it actually is. Especially if it contains scenes ambiguous enough for imaginative people to make up their own story to fill in the plot holes. The lack of a clear straight forward plot will leave many viewers impressed by how "deep" and chuck full of hidden meaning the film was. They'll decide people who don't rave about the masterpiece simply don't understand it and are obviously of a lesser intellect.
Many a mediocre film has been elevated to critical acclaim based on similar formulas.
In short this was a movie that contained fine acting and little else IMO.
