Negative Positive
Title: An even bigger disappointment than I expected.
Review: Despite the amazing acting and directing talent associated with this film, it was undoubtedly the biggest disappointment of the last year. Eastwood's straightforward style did little to capture the elegance and romance of one of America's most scenic and historical cities. While adapting this novel for the big screen was not an easy task, I still expected a much more engaging plot. Cusak, as always, did a better than fair job, adding some quirky humor in surprising places, but Spacey seemed to sleep walk his way through. I was truly relieved when the movie was finally over. In a nutshell, the confusing plot dragged on painfully, and I would not recommend this film to anyone. Even the biggest Eastwood, Cusak or Spacey fan is going to find just about any of their other films a better bet-they are an incredibly talented ensemble, but they didn't hit the mark here.
