I have to confess that I am severely disappointed.
This version can in no way compete with the version of 1995. The reason why I watched it was that I wasn't entirely happy with Ciaran Hinds as Captain Wentworth and thought that Rupert Penry-Jones looked much more like the Captain I had imagined when I read the book. And he was too.
Unfortunately that is the only redeeming quality of the film. The rest is as un-Austen-like as possible.
Miss Elliot would NEVER have run through the streets of Bath like this. It wasn't in her character and it just wasn't done by a lady of the those times. The Anne Elliot of the book was a lady and she had dignity. There are other painful anachronisms but this was the worst.
Although there are 3 important quotes from the book, they are at entirely inappropriate moments, warning those who know the book that yet another important part of the book will either be missing or completely changed.
And although this version is not much shorter than the other one, it feels like everything is rushed. Very little care was taken to introduce the characters, show their dispositions and motives. Important scenes were omitted. How could they possibly have butchered the final scenes in this way ? A disaster ! And it was by far not as beautifully photographed as the other one.
No, no, no. If you love Austen, then don't waste your time with this.

This movie completely surprised me.
I would NEVER have guessed that Vin Diesel has it in him. This guy actually can act ! So I wonder why he thought it necessary to appear in those brain-dead testosterone action movies up to now.
Peter Dinklage as attorney Ben Klandis was great.
I much admired Linus Roache as the DA. I wonder why he's not better known. I will certainly look up the movies he was in and put them on my DVD rental list at Amazon's.
And last not least I did like Ron Silver as the Judge.
This movie is very circumspect in making the audience acquainted with all the important characters. There's hardly any slack in it and if you don't know how the case ended in real life, you'll be as curious to know as the defendants :-)
I can recommend it and voted 8/10.

I do not like violent movies. Most "action movies" are a complete waste of time. No story worth mentioning and the emphasis on testosterone, big guns and big explosions. That's why it has taken me 2 years of internal debate. The only "pro viewing" argument was that Viggo Mortensen was in it.
Well, I shouldn't have doubted his choice of script. This movie is a masterpiece! The violence and brutality are presented in such a matter of fact way, they seem to be inevitable, even appropriate. The bad guys are truly scary without having to brandish big guns or display muscle. They just ARE scary.
I'm sure this is one of Ed Harris' best performances and I have never seen such a brilliant William Hurt. All the characters are convincing and superbly cast.
Well, I could have done with less sex scenes but they were well done and so that was OK too.
The music by Howard Shore is just perfect. Unobtrusive but supportive. Had I known that the music was by Howard Shore that would have been another "pro viewing" point.
Can I recommend the movie ?
To those over 18 and not squeamish - yes.
9/10
