I caught this on TV last night(sans ad-breaks), and I have to say, I liked it a lot. I had tried to watch it a few times before on TV, but had never really got hooked into the story enough to stick with it until the end.
I'm glad I did now. I hate Sex And The City, especially SJP's character in it, but she was great in this movie. And (gulp!) very sexy in it. Must have been the Bob.
Jean Tripplehorn is very underrated, and has had some casting misfortunes in the past, which have overshadowed her talent and potential. Even though her character here was for the most part a little distant and icy, she still managed to bring a bit of warmth to the part. And she's also extremely attractive, which never hurts.
Jen Aniston "didnt play Rachel", which was a good thing. The supporting cast did their jobs well, and Dylan McDermott? Well, you either like him or you loathe him, I have found. I thought he was quite watchable in this.
I was amused to see reviewers on here, knocking the film because people smoked in it. Honestly, I don't understand what that has to do with a film's artistic merit. On matters like smoking and drug use, some of our
members(non-UK, usually) tend to let their right wing views tarnish their opinions of a film. Which is, as they say on message boards, "Retarded".
Take a chance and see this film. It's not Con Air, but it has a story, characters, and lots of smoking.
(irony) Which is wrong, as Jesus doesn't like smoking. Or homosexuals(/irony).
7.5 out of 10,
Goodnight.
