Inert adaptation of a complex novel, too genteel in tone to convey either the rivalries and excitements of literary discovery or the overpowering emotions of hidden love.

OK as a film, but if you're read the book, don't go there!
If you haven't read the original book, you'd think this was a nice quiet film with a sweet story.

Top 10 Aaron Eckhart
- 25 Aug 2010

Bar an ill-advised turn in 2003's The Core, Aaron has always taken on interesting projects, as our top 10 proves...
