Review of Five Minutes of Heaven (2009) by Dina B — 16 Jan 2010

A good story and a decent movie although flawed..

My main objection is Nesbitt's character, he's supposed to induce sympathy, however I found him terribly annoying in many details even in the way he speaks! I eventually found myself despising him instead of sympathizing with him!

Liam Neeson's performance on the other hand is absolutely excellent, and he won me over after just a few scenes..

It does seem to drag on, but I think that is somewhat justified in order to display all the emotions and conflicts which the movie mainly relies on..
