occasionally on talk show a good topical debate spark some interesting opinion from the audience and unfortunately there be always some desperately sad person seek acceptance who will end any interesting debate instantly by get up and say the proverbial everyone should get along and love each other a they know they be guarantee to get applause and affirmation and a no one would dare disagree . well they be the same people who mark this film a good and why do they do that . insecurity . anyway that all i will say on that matter . the film and it start of reasonably interestingly so you hope it will build and and if like me you have settle in with a nice couple of glass of wine and some cheese then you will give it even more of a chance simply because you can not be bother to move . but then you daydream and you wander and your mind drift of onto other thing and why . because the director do too . he take his foot off the gas and and then he realize ooops so to compensate he accelerate hard and but then he drift again and and again so do you and the story slow and the plot thins and almost disappears and you even wonder to yourself o what happen again . a you ponder your screen will show nick nolte run around with some suppose purpose and but you will have long since care a to what he be do and he will appear a nothing more than a screen saver in the background to your day dream . michael moriarty who play john converse have an amazing ability to speak without move his lip or indeed his face and somewhat like a ventriloquist and he must have go to the nicolas cage school of expressionless facial acting and or he be attack by the phantom botox injector . tuesday weld be to play marge converse and but instead she play mia farrow to perfection . in all there be hundred of thousand of film to see and so leave this one to one of the last and you see i have just waste an evening watch it when i could have watch or do something else and learn by my mistake and night off relax be precious so do not waste one watch this boring tale and do anything else and dust off that old game of cluedo and practice gurning for the evening or have an argument with a loved one and trim your nose hair and get rid of unused file on our laptop and it will be time well spent what ever you should choose .
