there be nothing bad than a presumptuous movie that try to be what it be not and in this case something smart and profound and intense and thrill . this movie be exactly the opposite . roth and an actor i truly like and seem to go along with the sleepy mood and not even when he kick the bad guy on the ball he seem to wake up . ormond drag herself along the screed with an expression on her face a if she have be bear preoccupy . i seldom saw a so bad editing and precipitate and hurriedly . the plot line stay horizontal throughout the entire film and you be carry from mood to mood without any reasonable connection . for half a hour nothing happens and suddenly they be on a bathroom floor make intense love ( very pathetic ) like rourke and basinger in nine half week . 15 minute later the relationship be assault by doubt and drama . if this be not enough and in the last third of the movie they inject under pressure some parallel story inside the prison that undermines and overshadow the already undermined relationship between roth and ormond and which focus on nothing really and end with some pathetic shooting scene at the end . c amon and give me david cronenberg and his smooth story telling and where suspense and mood reach the climax so slowly and so perfectly . perhaps in his hand and this move could have live to be something decent . well and a very very bad movie . to be avoid at all cost and unless of course and you need desperately to get some sleep .
