Brought back too many memories

Rating: 1/10 (10 August 2006)

I am not very impressed with this film. I walked in expecting something as dramatic and heart wrenching like "Titanic" but i found myself somewhat....bored. Don't get me wrong, this film was very very very sad, but still, i was expecting a little more from Oliver Stone. The acting, i have to say, was pretty fantastic, especially with Nick Cage. When i first heard about this movie and realized Cage was in it, i thought he would screw it up, but turns out...he did a pretty damn good job. I would just like to say, the scene with "jesus" in it, was kind of dumb. Why do that?? To me, that was just trying to make the movie seem more religious and dramatic when all it did was just stupefy the scene! Overall, and OK movie, not the best. I give it a 5/10
