This was a big disappointment. Yes, Daniel Day Lewis was brilliant, but Leo and Cameron were awful. Despite the fact that the film cost $100 million, it only used a handful of shoddy sets.
The writing was trite, and some scenes (like the one praised above) made me laugh at how obvious and elementary school level they were.
I was hoping for something highbrow, but the movie pandered to idiots. There were memory flashbacks every five mintues or so, so that morons wouldn't forget which characters were which.
Also, 16 years pass by and everything/one looks exactly the same? A knife is buried for 16 years and doesn't rust?
They could have cut an hour of bloated waste easily. It was rather pointless, the plot was too slow to develop and WAY to predictable.
The token woman & Black person were offensive.
And worst of all, the scene at the end with the World Trade Center was ridiculous and disgusting.
