I went in to this film thinking it was going to be great because of all the reviews....OH MY GOD it was not. A complete waste of time. And what kills me is how this movie was nominated for Original Screenplay and Best Director and Best Movie and Cold Mountain didnt. Cold Mountain blew this movie off the planet! It appears that the Academy and reviewers that praised this movie have no clue! One word....CRAP! CRAP!!!! BORING PIECE OF CRAP!
