Based on the trailers, I expected this to be great movie. It is not. Although the acting is uniformly first-rate (with special credit going to Tom Hanks and Paul Newman), the script wasn't much more than adequate. The dialog could have been better and some of the characters should have been fleshed out more. Jude Law deserved much better than the one-note role that he was stuck with. This movie never bored me, but it wasn't nearly as good as I had hoped it would be.
Still, on the basis of the two leads, I gave it seven stars.
