milliondollarchamp 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2008 It looks great and the acting is top-notch but it just seemed to draaaaaag. There just seemed to be no "fire" in the production. Maybe I have to re-watch but it came across (to me) as a very dry period piece. I guess I'm still used to my "Wire" fix on Sunday nights but this seemed very eh.

DMann2003 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2008 Did no one watch this? I thought it was very good, I think this is a period that's never shown enough in film, and when it is it's usually stuffy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

milliondollarchamp 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2008 yea its worth a download I'm quite liking David Morse's understated performance and I thought Giamatti and Tom Wilkinson were especially fun to watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaxxson Mayhem 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2008 I watched part of the 2nd part. It was actually really good. It helps that I love this country so much so seeing them separate from England and vote on it was awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
imajackoff? 0 Report post Posted March 18, 2008 Nothing about it is bad, but the first two hours seemed like a by the numbers history lesson. Im a huge fan of Giamatti, so I'll stick with it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
