Goodbye Solo (2008)
2/10
Boring

Warning: Spoilers
Maybe I missed something in the movie (don't think so) but I found the film very slow moving and consisting of nothing but watching the title characters sleeping, smoking cigarettes and driving a cab and having their daily squabbles. My lady friend and I thought there was too little to justify 90 minutes of inaction for. The scenery at the end of the movie was the best feature. I think people who pay good money for watching this picture are wasting their time and deluding themselves they are seeing a hidden gem. I felt there was little reason to sympathize with the old man He made his bed and he was going to die in it. Solo felt an attachment to him only because of a sense of a borderline vicarious adventure but there was no way he could prevent the predetermined outcome nor do I feel he really wanted to.
