First, I have to say how wonderful the book is. As with most cinematographic adaptations, this one fails to bring the story to life on screen.
The actor's performance, and by that I mean Pitt's, is terrible. When you read the book, he certainly does not come to mind. His voice is not appropriate, nor is his age, for the role presented in the book.

Features great cinematography, good supporting performances and a decent script, but is marred by a horrible lead performance and a poorly-crafted climax.

“Features great cinematography, good supporting performances and a decent script, but is marred by a horrible lead performance and a poorly-crafted climax.

It's being referred to as an extremely slow-moving and boring drama, and while there are some elements of that, we've seen far more monotonous films, especially in the realm of period pieces. Silk is mostly engaging, at least to those who can appreciate dialogue-based films and aren't in need of a dosage of action sequences.

The main problem with Silk, though, is that Michael Pitt is incredibly bad as Herve, and I hate saying it because I do like Pitt (see The Dreamers for evidence that this guy can actually give a decent performance). I recent” read more
