| We (my wife & I) did not like this movie at all. In fact, my wife had very disturbing dreams about the movie after watching it. We did not appreciate the slow-moving, ponderous nature of the film, although I realize that this was the intent to convey the disaffection/disconnection each character felt in her/his life. I could not believe that the younger couple was so naive as to continue to associate with the older couple. Perhaps I am not perceptive enough to have noticed the subtleties that indicated the younger couples' willingness to participate... I do feel that I wasted the 100 plus minutes I spent watching this film. The violence at the end was extremely upsetting and the quality of the film, in my opinion, did not make this worth suffering. Nor did I learn much of a lesson from this. |

| This is based on the novel by Ian McEwan and adapted by Pinter. The dialogue is great...stilted, odd, darkly funny. The leads are intentionally disconnected from each other and the repetetive dialogue highlights this...it's only in the horrific violence at the end that they connect at all. Great on location work in claustrophobic Venice. |
| Was this supposed to be a movie? |

| This flick was BAAAAAADDDDDD. Christopher Walken was a Walken parody of himself. The plot was ridiculous. The starring actors were plastic and boring. If there were a rating lower than one star, this stinker would get it! |
