I had high expectations for this picture,with the great cast and all but came away somewhat disappointed. It was good but not great. Anthony Hopkins was a scene stealer.
horrible!
Too many philosophical sayings. Too "southern" - I couldn`t catch all the words. it had its moments - too few and far between - for the most part, boring.
It was completely impossible to get into this movie...it`s almost like you have to know the story before you watch this movie to understand who everybody is and what their motives are. Anthony Hopkins saved this film from being a complete waste of time.
More boring than The English Patient
The original was a great film - the remake is a great mess
A powerful story, well presented. The only thing is I found the strong southern accent hard to understand when spoken fast. Very Good
dull... but great acting
well acted but could`ve been a much better movie.
This movie is terrible Sean Penn waves his arms frantically and speaks like he has a mouthful of marbles. The original with broderick Crawford is a film masterpiece - this remake is a travesty. Rent the DVD of the original
