If John was played by Brad Pitt and not Kit containing the same acting abilities...the critics would give it 8.9/10. Another film with no recognition thanks to critics. I've enjoyed too many 1 or 2 star films/tv shows in the year, what's worth more success in ratings..and it's starting to make me sick.You get paid for it, but suck at doing your job.The Death and Life of John F. Donovan such a unique experience, filled with perfect cast with great character development. I was glued on the realistic nature what the film had to offer.
