ALL THE KINGS MEN(2006)
This is probably much more relevant today than it was
when it was made. The real problem here is that it's
incredibly boring! Everyone does does as good as they
can in their parts(I think) but it's just directed
poorly! Too bad as it coould have been so much more!! C+
From IMDb.com:
Great cast, good directing, intelligent filming... but
yikes! An absolute bore to watch - even Penn doing his
rants were just not really captivating.
This is seriously not good story-telling: it lacks any
kind of soul that will make it a watchable drama. Don't
get me wrong - it's perfectly OK at what it does - but
it just fails to ignite any emotion in the viewer.
What a waste of fantastic resources - all the pieces are
there and the whole is an unappetizing mess. As a Hallamrk
drama it just about toes the mark - with this cast, this
director, and this money a shameful waste.
Felt like sitting outside in winter watching paint dry:
cold and bored. - intelearts
