What A Waste Of Time

Rating: 1/10 (4 January 2014)

Like many other people who gave this movie a bad review, we expected much more. I have not found a bad review that I did not agree with. Just read them all, lump them together and you have my opinion of this Oscar nominated overly long load of crap. Bad editing. Bad acting. The mumbling dialogue at the beginning should have given me the clue that this was going to be bad from the start. Spoiler: I found it insulting to my intelligence in the scene when the soldiers put their fingers to their lips and just say "Shush" to the children who have just witnessed their parents being shot to death. I guess they want us to think that Moslems treat the death of their parents much as the equivalent of one of their favorite toys being broken. My wife called it "Violence Porn". I don't find the depiction of violence for no good reason exciting and worthy of praise. I am aware that there are many others who do. Maybe that is where the good reviews come from?
