I had heard that this was a film I really should not miss. So I took everyone’s advice and went to see it and was utterly disappointed. Yeah Kevin Spacey is good in it, but then we already knew he was a great actor, you only have to watch the cleverness of the Usual Suspects to know that. But I really felt let down by this movie, the story was not as good as everyone says and the film was just dull in my opinion. If it wasn’t for Kevin Spacey this film should have been a straight-to-video release and not worthy of all these Academy awards or Oscars that it got.
