Look at his face! As Charlie Brown used to say : Good Grief! Would you like to spend a large proportion of 114 minutes looking at it? Well if you watch this movie you wont be able to avoid it because it'll be there full blown 'in your face' every few frames. That's OK if you like it ...but that's a big if.
I wanted to like this film given all the good reviews but it fell down in the usual department most movies fail today: a decent script. Any school kid could have written this one. Pity, because some of it looked beautiful. It left me wanting to see a good travel doco on Greenland. What a place! I'd like to go there for a casual walk!
Anyway, in addition to a poor script the the story is sentimentally laden with self-pity in the main character and with delusions of heroism and romance. 'Nuff said. Still can't shake it off.
