Why do good actors pop up in bad movies? More perplexingly, why do so many good actors end up in the same bad movie?

As a director, McGuckian is overwhelmed by the immensity of her cast, and her misguided attempt to make a Hollywood epic on a European production budget.

Best characterized as an honourable folly.

Audiences may wonder why a picture with Robert De Niro, Kathy Bates and Harvey Keitel would be so bereft of hype. After you've endured the film, all 120 airless minutes, you'll understand the rationale behind the quiet release.

An honorable but dull attempt to translate a neglected literary source to the screen.
