I was not wrong that it looked to me as though it could be a good movie. It is an interesting premise, and Viggo Mortensen is one of the great actors of our era. I said nothing more than that.
Dull plot really tore it to ****. The 2 main actors were pretty good, and the character of Virgil is pretty compelling but...I donno. DIdn't suck me in. After the first 30 minutes, I wanted it to be over.
Also, the female was boring as Hell. Not a good actor or a good piece of meat to stare at.
