marathon have a very interesting premise and excellent ambient sound and and good scenery . unfortunately and the movie and aside from these aspect and fall flat on it face . for a woman try to complete so many crossword puzzle in a day and she spend an awful lot of time stand around and sulk and and not do puzzle . i believe there be more walk show in the movie than her work on these puzzle . also and while i understand the point of show so much scenery and there be simply far too much of it . the movie be incredibly boring and unfocused . it not worth buying and renting and watch on television and or view in any conceivable way . i lose interest so quickly that i be not sure why i sit through the entire film in the first place .
