1.5 out of 10 Disappointing
Eimear from Dublin, 07 Aug 2011
With the line up of actors in this film (Kevin Spacey, Cate Blanchet, Pete Postlethwaite...), you would expect it to be fantastic. The result however was disappointing. The characters are fairly unbelievable from the start, the movie plods along and doesn't captivate. There is a hint of the supernatural throughout the film, which doesn't interest me, but may interest others. Although I'm not familiar with the Newfoundland accent, the accents done by the actors are very variable.
