An average movie

To be honest, I always had some mixed about this movie and it is definitely one I really need to re-watch at some point. Indeed, the first time I watched it, I thought it was not bad but it didn’t really convince me either. However, ever since I watched the damned thing, I can’t really stop thinking about it from time to time so I really need to give it a 2nd shot. Anyway, Jodie Foster was pretty good, as usual, and Robert Zemeckis definitely delivered some decent directing but the main issue, at least from what I remember, is that the whole thing was just a really long and slow progression. Basically, the whole thing had a running time of about 150 mins (so far the longest movie directed by Robert Zemeckis) and it took forever before Jodie Foster finally went on her journey which was, I must admit it, pretty impressive. So, while I was impressed by the conclusion, I never understood why it took so long to get there. Still, I can’t shake the idea that I missed the point the first time I watched it (the fact that Roger Ebert really loved this movie must be another reason) and I will definitely check this one once again when I get the opportunity.
