Almost no words

This is a very slow movie, i can not understand that some people give this movie a 10... ??? I think those people never saw a movie before.

It's a lot of talking and no action. Even Angus Macfadyen is loosing his grip and can not save the movie for going down the hill. I've seen other movies with Angus, like BraveHeart, in that movie he was acting sublime. The most actors where performing worse and they could not amuse me.

Also the special effects, where cheap, can anyone remember Dr. Who ? The special effects in that series were better. In the first part, when they go up to the wave in a boat, nice trying but bad steeling from the movie "A Perfect Storm".

The second part, give me a break... i took it "i fell a sleep".

Don't spent your precious time on it, do something good with it !!!
