Title: Boring!
Review: I did see the BBC miniseries before the US movie, but I knew if I went into it expecting John Simm and Phil Glenister, I'd be disappointed, so I went looking for a completely different movie with a completely different story. Of course there's stuff missing, it's HOURS shorter, it had to be condensed, and for the sake of clarity, things had to be moved around. That's not my problem. My beef is how ungodly BORING the movie is. It's SO SLOW and disjointed, that I felt like I was about to fall asleep. If you want a good thriller, sure, try the original State of Play, which is great, but there are lots of other good thrillers out there, too. I'm not saying one State of Play or other is the better version, I'm just saying that this movie is an all around bad movie, regardless.
Is the review positive or negative?
