Obviously anyone who finds this film boring would be better off not watching films based on plays such as "Glengarry Glenross" or "Who's afraid of virginia wolf?" What did you think it was going to be about? Flashbacks of basketball scenes or a chase through Scranton.
It's a movie based on a play. The play had only 5 characters and this movie focuses on those 5 characters.
Do you not know the difference between a film adaptation of a play and a regular film?
It's okay to hate this movie. It just goes to show that it's not your type of film. I, for one, hate Lord of the Rings movies but I won't say they're poorly made, I just don't enjoy those films.
The performances in this film are all excellent, especially Mitchum and Sheen.
