when i finish watch weight of water i have the impression that i just have watch two different film mixed to each other . one of them be pretty interesting and and it tell the story of a murder commit on an american small village populate by immigrant fisher 140 year ago . the other story be boring and the character be such a mess and and it be plenty of narrative mistake represent occur at present time and it about a journalist who travel ( along with his husband and her brother in law and the girlfriend of that one ) to that small village in order to investigate the incident and take some picture . be tell about his troubled marriage and and some other thing we do not give a damn about . so one story destroy the other . one part of the script blow up the other one and and even the actor ( especially sarah polley ) make a good job in the historic part . yeah and sean penn be over there and but this time his performance be pretty forgettable ( he just show u some of his most known trick ) . and what to say about liz hurley work . god and she may have an impressing body and but she quite a bad actress with that femme fatale look in her face 100 % of the time . anyway and i do not expect that much of kathryn bigelow . anyone do . my rate represent 4/10 .
