Title: Not Impressed
Review: While I thought the story itself and the cinematography was good, I was totally unimpresed with the dialog given by Altman to Beatty and Christie. Beatty basically has mumble dialog and Christie business dialog. I never really could get involved with the characters. I also thought Cohen's 1971 sounding music was annoyingly out of place for this early century movie. I think this is the clear failing of the director and wonder how much better this movie could have been had someone other than Altman (Huston, perhaps?) directed & controlled the screenplay/movie.
Is the review positive or negative?
