  I liked it.....didn't expect it to cause me to find Jesus. I thought that Leo did a nice job.

  I concur with most of your comments. The majority of the acting was not very convincing and the "message" of the movie was too blatant and spoon-fed. As far as Leo specifically, I didn't have high expectations for his performance going in to the movie - and imho he delivered one of standard, mediocre performances, Leo still comes across as a light weight-pretty boy, even though he's starting to look a bit bloated.

  ""One hates..."? I'll bet. It is obvious that you just love to denigrate just about every film that plays to both critical and popular acclaim. By doing so you can smugly rise above everyone else and become an elite, effete, snob. I happen to think that this was the second best film of 2006, the best being "Notes on a Scandal" which, as I recall, you didnt like either. Best wishes.

    Children of Men. Popular and critically successful and I liked it a lot.
    Haven't yet seen Notes on a Scandal.
    Sorry you've taken some of my reviews to heart. It's only my opinion, calm yourself.

      Made $35 Million US and about $69 million worldwide. Cost $76 million to make.

      And come on, you do seem to relish brutalizing movies you don't like, especially when others have expressed that they do.

        year's best or says Leonardo did an Oscar worthy job... well, I've got to set the record straight and save the reputation of this board (harrrrumph).
        Why some people get angry just because someone disagrees with their opinion is beyond me. I feel exasperation that many superb works of art in film are unknown, underappreciated, or widely denigrated.
        I console myself by remembering that most Americans prefer fast food to the real thing.

  It may not stand up to the latest navel-gazing b&w indie from Outer Mongolia, but it was an entertaining action drama and much better than most of current major movie output.

  just went along for the admittidly, overall, lightweight ride. I never mind looking at JC and I was one those who expressed being impressed by LD's performance... and I still am.
