    Slow, boring and very long....

    I have given this film 1 star just because it has George Clooney in it, otherwise it wouldnt have got any!

    Cant make my mind up.......

    This is one of those films......as i cant really slam it, because it is has something which keeps you to the end...

    Maybe i will watch again, and it may be easier to follow, even knowing the end, which is to be honest very good....... appart from all the build up to this....which at times is very confusing .......you just stay with it.........

    For me the best performance in the film is without doubt.......Tom Wilkinson ( Full Monty ).

    Anyway, if you like a good ending where all becomes apparent, you will like this.

    Confused....you will be.
