this movie be bad . i do not know how it get a 7 . 3. the vast majority of what i saw my friend and i turn it off about half way through be talk . and not very interesting talk . just blather and go over the same ground again and again . david warner and a good actor and phone in his performance and get his check and split . get ta pay the rent . stage require a lot of talk because of the limitation it nature imposes . but when they have the power of the camera eye which allow them to use angle and edit and etc . to create a sense of mystery and drama and why do director just set it up and let it run while the actor talk . don not get me wrong and there be movie out there that have a great deal of dialog and they be rivet glen garry glenross and network be two good example . but if your movie be go to be heavy on dialog it get to be sharp and witty and lean and in short and interesting . there a basic rule in any creative endeavor whenever possible and show and do not tell . well and in this movie the character tell you everything and show you very little . and i would not even get into how pretentious this film be .
