A Real Lullaby
Man, this is supposed to be a really good movie, so I had high hopes. These hopes were shot down about ten minutes into it. Not only is this film boring, but the sound effects drove me nuts. The music is way too loud, the voices are so soft and muddled that I couldn't even understand what was being said half the time. Lots of violence - if that is what supposed to make this film great, it doesn't do it for me. (A headless horseman, big deal.) Parts of it were very confusing and hard to follow. I still don't understand the poisonous snake scene. Maybe if I could have heard the dialogue over the background noise I'd have a better opinion of the movie. Part of the problem, I think, is that it's a guy film. Perhaps it's something a woman like me just can't appreciate. What WAS that snake doing there?
