This is a fantastic film which juxtaposes three extended scenes relating to the central plot, each involving two protagonists (e.g. Cruise, Streep), and does so brilliantly.<BR/><BR/>Not till the third half of the film(yes, that is Irish - I mean the second third!) does the penny drop and when it does it makes this an even more powerful film.<BR/><BR/>It's worth the risk - ENJOY!Mountjoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17385482147330173836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21959228.post-76133082413286140732007-11-12T22:41:00.000+00:002007-11-12T22:41:00.000+00:00I should say that I realise now that my review cam...I should say that I realise now that my review came out less damning than I thought it did. The thing that I was trying to get at is that if they had made the streep cruise thing the centre it would have worked. But they didn't so its a bad film but it has this one good thing in it. I'm sorry that didn't come across. Incidentally I also hope the fact that I disparaged its over emotionalism got across I realise it didn't- my writing I apologise!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
