Title: Doesn't hold up
Product review: Personally I get tired of the current movies with their hyper-kinetic MTV editing and pacing (see From Hell). So I am more than open to the movies from 10-20 years ago where the pace was a little more relaxed. But even having said that, this movie is still TOO slow, and TOO talky. The cast is fine, though as other people have mentioned James Mason is perhaps 10 years too old for his role. And a personal pet peeve: it annoys me when you have a period piece film but then the actors have contemporary hair cuts. Christopher Plummer's hairstyle is circa 1980 and NOT 1880 as it should be.
