David Fincher directs this muddled pile of arse and frankly it's his worst film by a long way. The story was ok, quite twisty turny and difficult to go into without spoiling but it was so slow and meandering. Could have been done in half the time and been a better film for it. |
I thought it was brilliant when I saw it at the cinema, and that opinion was reaffirmed when I watched it at home a month or so ago.
Have you read the book? I read it about a week before going to the cinema and I didn't think it would translate very well, so was extremely surprised at how good the screenplay is and, with David Fincher's exquisite visuals, I didn't think the film felt anywhere near as long as the running time suggested.
