I liked the movie, but I see LH's point. I believe most critics, and not just film critics, like things because they believe they're supposed to. That movie with Daniel Day Lewis as an oil driller - I think my brain is doing me a favor by forgetting the title - was a prime example. After what seemed like four hours, I realized I was not even close to the end. I've never seen the end. I don't want to. I don't care how it ended. But the critics loved it. I don't need excitement in a movie to like it, but a car chase along the lines of Bullitt or the French Connection would have elevated this movie to just boring. (My own opinion. If you liked it, I'm glad.)
