My husband, who has a liking for epic movies, dragged me to this movie (and I'm sick no less) and when it was over I couldn't believe I'd only been sitting there for only 2hours and 15 minutes. It felt like 3 1/2! The guy next to me left 45 minutes before the movie ended and I wish I had done the same thing.
This movies was full of the same old predicable cliches and boring slow motion camera work to make it all seem even more dramatic than it was.
The only scenes I did like were the ones between Harry and Abou. Those were genuine. The rest was CRAP.
I have already lost some respect for the Academy after giving Russel Crowe the Best Leading Actor for Gladiator, but if anyone from this movie wins even a nomination, then the whole organization is full of it.
Save it for a bad movie rental night. Don't waste your money or time to see it in the theater.
