Title: Bored to sleep
Product review: I had high expectations for this film. While I'm not the biggest Tom Hanks fan, I like him, the previews for this movie looked superb, and there was, of course, the Coen brothers whom I greatly admire. Unfortunately, the previews were the best part of the film.Tom Hanks hasn't done comedy in a long time, and it sure showed. He had absolutely ZERO appeal, and all of his mannerisms and the southern drawl should have been entertaining; instead they were dull and monotonous, just like the film. I'm literally astonished that some people believe that this is one of his stronger performances, because I am steadfastly convinced that it's one of his worst - if not *the* worst.I can't comment on the original, as I've never seen it. Perhaps the slow pacing worked in the other film. It didn't work here. I was bored to tears, and so was the person I saw it with.
