the acting and other review notwithstanding and be remarkably well do . brad pitt handle the role of an annoying and obnoxious austrian climber quite well . other act be fine . the story could have be rivet and but somehow and it miss one never really understand or care for the character show and and so the story and which could have be quite dramatic and fail to draw in this audience . beautiful scenery and cinematography and a remarkably dramatic true story and important event that shape the world that we live in but i could not and try a i might and involve myself in this story . a an unabashed brad pitt fan ( i consider him one of the top 5 actor of his generation ) and i expect to love this flick and yet and it leave me cold . it could be a failing within myself and but i tend to point toward the creative end of this movie direction and scriptwriting and production and edit somehow and they lose me . it a shame and because it could have be wonderful . good acting and dramatic story and beautifully shoot it should have be magnificent . it wasn not . probably worth watch and just to make your own mind up on it but do not expect too much and and perhaps you would not be as disappointed a i be . mostly and it bore me .
