the main reason for write this review be i find this revisioning of a great play and worthy 1972 film and a horrible movie experience . if i can save someone from watch it and i will have do a good thing . this new version be load with talent and and it all go wrong . kenneth branagh ok an ugly and sterile and one note set . he proceed to film the movie from every arty and distracting and self center angle possible . we see reflection of the actor in stainless steel and on security monitor and shot of their head from 200 ft above and close ups of eye and chin and and on and on . the screenplay and by a nobel laureate and introduces long stretch of unpleasant homosexual banter and that be be fake by both party and . i think . give the character twist how would i know . the character themselves and so richly drawn in the original and be crass and unsympathetic . the running time have be cut by an hour and which be either the real problem or the kind thing the director do for u . the actor perform their line effectively and but nothing they say or do be remotely believable . jude law be over the top more than caine and but a the credited producer and must have have branagh blessing . all in all i find this to be an ugly to look at and unconvincing shell of a former classic . why be it even make . the pay public spent less that $ 4m worldwide to see it . a vanity piece of work that fail at every turn .
