The excellent actors did the very best that the script allowed, granted. But, the director didn't seem to be interested in that aspect. That was my point. He was much more interested in the cheap theatrics (the predecessor to CGI) than the story or character developement. To me the obvious charm of the movie was the "Diner"-ish aspect of it. That's what I wanted from the movie & was left wanting. I wasn't allowed to even care about any of the characters no matter how I tried. Plus, without the ability to care about anybody or antthing, the action had no suspense nor drama. Any clearer?
