Naomi Watts must have been 3-4 months pregnant in this. It was okay. She was good, but I was hoping for a British or Australian accent in this one. No such luck (American). Clive Owen was hot and so was the scene in the Guggenheim Museum (which this poster alludes to). However, Naomi wasn't in the Guggenheim scene like she is in this poster.
It started out good, then got a little boring, then there was the Guggenheim scene. My friend said she would have liked a little more background on what Clive Owen and Naomi Watts' relationship was supposed to be. The writer claimed he wrote scenes with sexual tension between Clive & Naomi but they didn't make enough sense or have enough purpose, so they were cut. I was satisfied with their relationship, as they worked together, and she had a family of her own and there wasn't really anything between them.
Then after a bit of a bore, the film got good again, but it was just a little long, and the ending wasn't much of an ending. But it was cool enough.
It could have been a recipe for disaster. Instead it's mainly worthwhile.
