Always been a fan of John Sayles. I even really liked "Limbo", though many critics lambasted it's ending (among other things). So I was very surprised to find myself exiting the theater half-way through his new movie. Weak dialogue, bad writing, mediocre acting (with the notable exception of Edie Falco (sp?)). Too many stories, none of which seemed to go anywhere. John, leave this kind of thing to Altman please and get back to doing what you do best. The two people I was with are both avid and knowledgeable movie-goers. The decision to leave was mutual.
