I would give this movie a negative 10 if I could. It was one of the few movies I've ever seen that I absolutely HATED. There are a lot of movies that are bad, but I don't "hate" them. This movie I absolutely detest. Nothing about the movie is believable. Some people have told me, and some of the reviews say that it's not meant to be real, but viewed as a fable. It doesn't work on that level either.

I've read reviews that said they rarely cry at movies, but this one had them bawling. I'm the opposite, I often easily cry at movies, but the only emotional feeling this movie left me with was relief it was over. There was no emotional attachment to any of the characters.

The real kicker is that this film won best picture and best actor over "The Shawshank Redemption" and Morgan Freeman. At least the overall IMDb readers got it right. TSR is the best movie of all time.
