too long, slow, boring

Rating: 3/10 (18 February 2008)

Hmmm, what am I missing here?
A lot of people including the Oscars think this was a great movie.... even nominated for Best Picture!
Sorry, it was a drag. Much too long. Is a story about a bad guy great? Some are but not this one.
The acting was fine. It's the story line that got me. Interesting look at early oil prospecting. No doubt some of the big oil people were as bad as portrayed but yawn.
This is the first movie I've seen that I totally disagree with the IMDb rating. Hope it doesn't win Best Picture.
