Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
peisli Wow what a bad movie, such a great, famous and talented actors and such a slow movie. Richard Gere did you even read this script before you said YES ? awful, don't waste your time, watch something else
Andres-Camara Para empezar, no sabes lo que te quiere contar la película hasta que lleva mucho tiempo transcurrido. Resulta que la idea es muy buena. Pero empieza a irse el guion por tantos sitios que no sirven para nada, que te aburres y nunca llega a la idea principal. Para luego no saber cerrarla.Es muy larga, no sé en qué pensaba el director. Los actores, todos están insoportables. No consigo empatizar con ninguno. Seguro que Richard eligió su personaje, él tiene una fundación para los sin techo.La fotografía está bastante bien. Es bonita, pero debería ser más fría en algunos momentos.El director es muy malo. Si hace una película así, es que es muy malo. Si no se da cuenta de que se ha perdido mucho. Los planos son simples y en algunos momentos hasta malos. No pierdas el tiempo To begin with, you do not know what the movie wants to tell you until it has been a long time. It turns out that the idea is very good. But the script begins to go by so many sites that are useless, that you get bored and never comes to the main idea. Then do not know how to close it.It's very long, I do not know what the director thought. The actors, they are all unbearable. I can not empathize with anyone. Surely Richard chose his character, he has a foundation for the homeless.The photography is pretty good. It's pretty, but it should be colder at times.The director is very bad. If he makes a movie like that, it's very bad. If you do not realize that you have lost a lot. The plans are simple and sometimes even bad.Do not waste your time
MovieCritic98 This is a terrible movie. Two sons of one of the families burn a homeless lady to death, and 3 of the 4 parents involved are perfectly fine with covering up the crime. They argue forever and the one parent (Richard Gere's character), that wants to do the right thing is finally worn down and agrees to go along with the cover-up. This movie is the kind of amoral drivel that rightfully gives Hollywood a bad name. And it is also extremely boring. I will be more careful to read reviews so I avoid this kind of excrement in the future. Hopefully, this review will help spare someone the loss of two hours of their life watching absolute garbage. I would have given it zero stars if I could.
cix_one The Italian version didn't have the marquee actors, but it was well written, well acted and had all the ingredients to make the audience identify with the moral dilemma of the characters.The American version by comparison is grotesque: one of the characters is mentally ill - which makes it impossible for the viewers (at least the ones who are not mentally ill) to identify with; the story of the senator's bill keeps distracting the main plot without rhyme or reason.I watched it to the end in the hope that the sheer presence of great actors is going to somehow redeem the film. It did not.
