When I saw the movie I was strangely untouched and I couldn't understand why. The film is near perfect: excellent acting, a daring storyline but quite surprisingly based on real incidents (real life can be more dramatic than drama at times). It seems to have everything going for it ... but for some reason I wasn't as affected by the movie as I was when watching say something like "Dog Day Afternoon" or "Girl, Interrupted" to refer to some similar movies. My brain keeps saying it's a great movie but the heart doesn't responds "well yeah ...guess it isn't bad". It must be one of those unexplained phenomena that I keep hearing about:) Maybe just maybe a little bit more of "soul" in the film would help or maybe I should see it again to get another perspective.It could be a movie you get used to ! There's something missing and I can't put my finger on it.
