Title: Boring so very very boring
Review: It is a sad state of affairs when the most passionate actor in a movie is William Hurt. Viggo Mortensen and Ed Harris race each other to complete ambivalence in this story of a man hiding out from his past.Maria Bello plays the victim wife perfectly dull. Mortensen and Bello's love scenes are perfectly orchestrated and have that heavy pendantic feeling of a machine executing its task for the millionth time.Dialogue and scenes have the stilted affect of a high school drama production. Cronenberg may have meant this picture as an stinging indictment of US violence but it only leaves the dull throbbing ache of an overworked message brought to the audience by robots who do nothing and then explode.Avoid, Avoid, Avoid, Avoid, Avoid, Avoid, Avoid . . .
