Featured review
I liked it alot !!
This is a good movie. Although I must admit sometimes it's a bit slow. I've seen it at least twice, and both times it mediated a special feeling that moved me.
The five main reasons why I liked this movie, are (not listed in any particular order):
1. Richard Gere - He doesn't give a great performance, but hey ! It's Richard Gere, and I really like him.
2. Sharon Stone - On the other hand gives a great performance. I've never seen her this good.
3. James Newton Howards fantastic score. The music over the final scenes and the ending credits is so beautiful and emotional, that it can make me cry everytime that I listen to it. The score enhances and puts an emphasis on the developments in the movie in an extraordinary way.
4. The script - Although it's not that tight, it's still well written, with likeable characters and a good message.
5. The feeling that this movie mediates, through the above mentioned reason, and lots more.
In conclusion: I recommend this film. It will probably not be the best movie you've ever seen, but well worth your time. And as I said, it has a good message.
