Negative Positive
Title: What a stinker!
Review: How could such a star-powered cast have ever agreed to act in this bomb? Did they even read the script? And what was Sean Penn thinking? How many nature shots do we have to have to substitute for plot developments? What heavy-handed directing, particularly the storm clouds gathering! Duh. The camera, as always, loves Nicholson but that does not make up for a real bad script and a really bad job of directing. I don't know how many times I looked at my watch, anxious for the ending, which, in itself, was a flop as well.
Is the review positive or negative?
