This sure is a snoozefest isn't it? And Beatty's acting?
And don't get me wrong: I love Dr. Zhivago, Lawrence of Arabia, etc so I am not at all worried about long movies or epics. This one was just boring and ineffective emotionally.
Plus, Warren Beatty really is a mediocre actor, sorry. This film proves that.
Beatty was really good in Shampoo and McCabe and Mrs. Miller. He was OK in Bonnie and Clyde, Dick Tracy and Ishtar. Basically everything else has been really mediocre or bad. In Reds I found his acting somewhere between bad and mediocre.
