Pros: beautifully shot, some nice supporting actors, had a strong premise
Cons: unfulfilled promise, lead part wasn't strong enough

Pros: Wonderfully filmed, satisfying film.
Cons: Crowe is a bit stiff in the film.

Pros: Beautiful scenery and a heartfelt story. Portrays a believable message.
Cons: The humor is slapstick and the plot is somewhat confusing.
Picture a beautiful French countryside with sunlight streaming over dew glazed meadows, vineyards and vined trees clothing the soil, birds and beauty and solace. Now contrast that with the yelling, screaming, mind-grinding atmosphere of the world of bond ...
