Customer Reviews

Love, look at the two of us.

Unknown to most of the world is the battle between good and evil over people's souls. Miracles play a big part in the equation. Peter Lake may be part of that equation without being aware of it himself. Pearly Soames (Russell Crowe) is determined not to let that happen. The story is an interesting story based on a novel by Mark Helprin. For the people who know the novel, most movies are not good enough. However, without knowing the novel that this movie is based on, there are a lot of unanswered references. Unfortunately, the version I watched came on a rental disk, so it did not have a voice-over commentary to explain the unexplainable. The costumes were well done. The graphics were reasonable without overwhelming the story. The background music matched the feel and did not overwhelm the dialog. I do not know if it was intentional; however, it was fun finding major actors in all the strangest places in the film; Will Smith was just being himself. Jennifer Connelly must have felt that she was back in "Labyrinth" (1986). Anyway, for those of us who have not read the story before viewing, it was predictable and interesting but nothing exceptional.
