Another mingin' Minghella script. Ok, it's gripping in places, but only those where nobody is saying anything. I felt I could see the paper these characters are printed on.Faced with this sort of material Jude Law has chosen to reprise his largely unconvincing Dan character from Closer. Juliette Binoche bobs her head a lot. Not even she can smile away something this truly, madly, dreadful.
Jude Law was in the one Minghella movie I haven't completely hated, The Talented Mr Ripley, but I'm reading Patricia Highsmith's novel for the first time right now, and the situation is in flux!
Low Point: Ray Winstone, CID
High Point: Martin Freeman: "Lattes have been drunk".
