I admit, I really like mechanical ballets like "Le Mans", "Taxi", "Taxi 2" and the best part of "Gone in 60 seconds (2000)". There are not many movies which push me in it, but when there are speed-scenes, I'm lost. This movie can also be put in the mechanical ballet list because it is impossible to see that the budget for this movie was relatively small. In the hands of Hollywood it would have cost a lot more.
What I really don't understand is why the original Australian-English had to be changed in American-English. Most of the time I was really angry about the over the top voices and (due to that) the lack of mechanical sounds. Every version with the non-original English should be banned, in fact, every movie should be released in its native language (even animated ones). This to prevent that a movie will be funny because of the language while this was not meant to. Everybody can read subtitles isn't it?

My one line summary says it all like that counts for Stagecoach (1939). Also when you watch it it doesn't look like it's going to take five years when they find the girl. In one scene it snows a lot when in the next it's a burning summer. How confusing can a movie be?
While the movie starts of I really got pissed that I had to watch another Julia Roberts flick again. Last year I saw Runaway Bride and Notting Hill and they were BAD, mostly because of her and after seeing Erin Brockovich I still mean that she is Hollywood's most overrated actresses around. But, it's not all wrong with this picture. At the end it gave me a good feeling, but it still looked a lot like A Civil Action. Albert Finney plays his best role so far (while he never does anything bad). A simple twist of his mouth and the whole cinema start laughing, with Julia, that never happens. Now who is the best actor of them two?
Besides Julia the movie has a lot to make it worth watching. It has drama, comedy, thriller, enough to make everybody pleased. But the way she gets her job (at Finney's office) is a bit unrealistic. And that is based on a true story? It's just NOT POSSIBLE.
