Didn't Live Up to its Premise

This movie was good, but I think what stopped it being great was that it didn't live up to its premise. Even if it might be cliched, I think the set-up was good: trying to save his friend on his last day before retirement, and interview which triggers flashbacks of their history. But the plot that was built on this was simplistic and unbelievable, it was if they were going through the motions.

Me thinks "It appears you underestimated people's feelings for this movie". This movie is STILL one of my all time favorites, and I'm very particular what I think is good. I respect your opinion, but I have a feeling, that if many people revisit this board, you will get an "ear" full. Have a good week.
