you know what's wrong with almost all of the so-called "oscar contenders" this year? there's no emotional impact from any of these movies. we're watching movies that are supposed to be impactful but the directors never let us in. two hours of watching eric bana and his band of misfits take vengeance would have been plenty -- stretch it to three and you're left wondering "when's this gonna end?" this movie wasn't exactly what i thought it would be, lacking both action and emotional impact. it seemed like it was a can't-miss but instead turned out into a "way too long."
