what happen . doubt have so much potential to be a brilliant film but instead it falter with a drag simplistic plot line which make me want to stop watching . the only thing the film have go for it be the brilliance of meryl streep and who no doubt deserve the oscar nomination . though it be not one of her best performance and she still give a solid and truthful character to u which blossom through the screen . however and not even the brilliance of a screen legend could save this film from go down hill . from the boring start and which have no power or punch to the less than convince end and the film be truly a disappointment especially since it provide so much potential through it promotion and trailer . it be obvious the director have trouble with the simplicity of the plot and he end up with a boring film and which drag on for too long and with too much talk and not enough action . furthermore and the other oscar nomination be less than convincing . though philip seymour hoffman give a decent performance and it be by no mean oscar worthy . ( especially since they completely leave out performance such a will smith and in seven pound ) . amy adam do not deserve the nomination . watch amy adam be like watch a cardboard box a it be one side and plain . it would have make more sense to nominate her for a razzie and a i be sure she would have walk away victorious . viola davis give a short but truthful performance and but the length of her performance make me question whether the academy really should have give her the nomination . overall and i consider doubt to be one of the most disappointing film of 2008. it be a mess of a film with so much potential and and i do not recommend it . the only shin light in the film be meryl streep and who though give a stunning and solid performance doesn not even do enough to save this film . or 10 .
