I watched a movie last night of 2 HOURS, 11 MINUTES duration...WATCHED IT ALL. I couldn't get through the book, it was boring me so much...but, did I abandon the film? Noooo, because I thought it was going to be a macho, guy flick...lots of action, blood, guts, revenge, and in the end, somebody's got to die thingy...stuff like that.
I watched the entire pissy-ass thing. I think the liter of Merlot is the only thing that got me through it. But, and here is my winded point, but...after the mamsy-pamsy Milquetoast leading character lets everybody in the film piss on him...and kick his ass, repeatedly...and make fun of him...and you/one, are wanting revenge...serious kickass revenge...wanting some of the powers-that-be shitheads to DIE a violent and painful blood-sucking, decapitated death, MOTHERFUCKERS. Does he give you/one closure? NO! He let's them...LET'S THEM..............................KILL HIM IN THE END.
What the hell kind of hero is that? Oh, and I am absolutely certain that his pussy attitude is why no one showed up for his going away party the night before.
Don't bother with this film, dudes and dudettes. Five thumbs down.

Har har har...the film was The Constant Gardner...what the deuce did you think it was? The Greatest Story Ever Told? HAR HAR HAR.
