After struggling through the first 50 minutes, I got smart and Fast Forwarded it on 8x - and didn't miss a thing! Several pieces of the film are good to excellent - the acting, scenery, set, and production are the highlights. But, nothing can save it from the abysmal script - and the plot can be summarized in 3 sentences (which i won't do here). Watching this film is like watching 3 simultaneous uninteresting monologues. No one even pretends to know that they aren't being understood. I've been in situations involving extreme language barriers, and this isn't even remotely close to reality - or entertainment. By the end, I figured out that I'm 'cuckoo' for sitting and watching more than 15 minutes of this film (which would probably be more interesting without subtitles)!
