It was like watching paint dry. It was poorly filmed, poorly written and poorly acted. It just sucked. I kept watching it, in case it got better. It just never did. Very disappointing…..

Pingback: The Good Shepherd at Wild Tangents
Well, Thick, gotta disagree with you here. I thought it was a great film, and it was shot beautifully. Michael Mann continues to put out amazing work. But, this from the guy that tried to tell me “Double Happiness” and “Party Girl” are great movies. . .
Well, I do have to admit that I watched it on my laptop which may have the ruined the cinematography for me. But I thought the acting was really bad and the script left a lot to be desired. Don’t get me wrong, it didn’t have bad actors. We all know what Jamie Foxx has done in films like Jarhead, Ra and Ali. Colin Farrel hass shown some talent too (Phonebooth, Hart’s War and Tigerland). But they just sucked in this. Plus, the plot was dull and predictable.
I suppose now you’re going to say you loved every (all 156) minute of “The Good Shepard”.
Oh yeah…..”Party Girl” sucks too. I just like it ’cause it had Parker Posey in it. Double Happiness on the hand still tugs at my sentimentality.
BTW – Great to hear from you Michael. You never write. You never call. I might have to come down there to Arizona some day to visit. My company actually has lots of projects going on down there, so it could happen.
