| Man, why do they always have to ruin such great books? |

| So you're saying that the movie was bad because it was too cliche of an Academy Award nominated movie? |

| Good review. I really cannot stand Sean P's acting style. He's like a turd chewing a wasp. It's a pity that this seems such an exploded pumpkin as Zaillian's previous two films have been outstanding. I guess this is his big move into the mainstream. I think i'll chekc it out anyway. Perhaps Warren Beatty should have directed it. |

| Your review of this movie reminds me of what I thought of this book, i.e. that it relied heavily on grandstanding, drawn-out melodrama, and blunt artless truisms. It was written like an oscar movie is filmed: so aware of its epic greatness that by the end, any moral impact is overshadowed by its own sense of acomplishment. |
