Negative Positive
Title: Badly written
Review: Screenwriters are always saying that it is their contribution which makes the difference between a mediocre and a good movie. In this instance they are correct. The directing is fine, the acting is superb; but the screenplay is fifth-rate, full of cliches and tired old plot moves. Those who gave this movie 5 stars were obviously not watching this movie but some other movie they were imagining. This is not a tragedy but a tiresome waste of time (and only the performances of Wilkinson and Spacek will convince you otherwise).
Is the review positive or negative?
