A guilty pleasure. Fun but wrought with horrible, stilted dialog. I think the filmmakers really should have learned from DIE HARD and interjected some charm, humor, and humanity. ALL characters were "functional" and far from convincingly human.

Great acting talent and it is certainly immersive visually. Only drawbacks for me are a slow pace and a lead character who's so "quiet" as to sometimes border on boring. It's another common man must act as his own investigative team but in deep contrast to films like The Fugitive. The movie almost feels too much like real life because of the slow pacing and maybe wouldve felt more entertaining if Damon's character was more... something. He IS an active participant but it still feels like the story happened to him as opposed to being driven by him. Maybe it's his constant "Yes, ma'am" demeanor.

All I saw was endless special effects and quick editing with zero emotional involvement. Sorry to say.

The most binge-worthy series I've seen. Every aspect of the show is brilliant. It resets the bar.

Loved this movie. Funny and very touching without being sappy.

I'll watch this movie annually. Always a fun ride.

It was certainly a fun ride and I like the personalities and humor of the leads. I found it a little much in the CGI arena but it's a sign of the times. I'd label it as African Queen meets Indiana Jones. ( Doesn't matter which film - Indy's always after some object that the bad guys don't want him to have. ) Same deal here.

I need to watch more dramas. As for TROTD specifically, I like the slow but steady unfolding of emotions, the amazing performances and it's set design. It's a masterclass in subtext and of characters who just can't pull the romantic trigger.

I actually was in this film...( bearded cop in the car accident scene) That aside the movie didn't really rock my world when it first came out in 2005. Watching it again in 2021 with a softer heart and having experienced more loss in my life I found it quite moving. The movie has a few light moments and although it has a "happy ending" per se, overall it has a melancholy feeling led by Johnathon Schaech's deep sorrow and the parallel sadness of Kathleen Rose Perkins' character as she comes to understand the losses in the life of her boyfriend. I guess it's a melodrama but pretty well done. Performances are excellent and nice scenery courtesy of rural Nova Scotia. It won't leave you feeling energized or "happy" but it does reinforce the idea of second chances despite the most debilitating tragedies life can offer. If interested, the big yellow house is located at 1758 Prospect Bay Road, Prospect Nova Scotia.

Stellar legal drama. Stellar psychological thriller. Stellar personal journey of one arrogant lawyer. Everything about this movie says EXCELLENCE. And an unforgettable first outing for Edward Norton. Good for annual viewing.
