The acting was fine as you'd expect. And it was a pretty movie. Unfortunately it was dreadfully boring as it is a movie attempting misdirection but the actual lay of the land is apparent at each step. And in the end, the one thing you really want explained, especially since the whole movie depends on it, is not.

It's pretty, though.

Aw, and I was so looking forward to that one being an exceptional movie, too.
