Title: Tries too hard
Review: Monster's Ball is definitely one of the most contreversial of last year. The film's performers are all at the top of their game, especially Halle Berry and Billy Bob Thornton, even Sean " Puff Daddy" Combs does a fine job. The only problem with it is that all the tragic events and mishaps are plugged into the first two halfs of the film. And when the final act comes around you almost feel cheated, or disillusioned because the sheer power of the first two acts are absent. You almost feel as if the film should have been finished awhile ago. Still for most of the way through this was a great movie, definiteley among the top ten of last year.
Is the review positive or negative?
