Honestly, the movie barely has anything remotely interesting going on.

The thing thats working here, though is the beautiful scenery shots.

Lots of gorgeous shots of the rivers and trees and landscapes.

The actors dont really stick out that much though.

The main guy I don't mind, Amber Heard is gorgeous but her storyline barely gets touched upon, and even longtime actors like William Hurt are just hurtling in the backgrounfd.

I know this main fisherman is trying to find himself but we need more scenes of stuff happening than sinking into some kind of lonely depression.

Obviously people will love the book better cause theres more depth.

Me, Im just glad I didnt buy this 1st cause now I wont be completely bored and let-down by this movie by watching it again.
