I really don't understand why this film has received such generally negative reaction. I agree that it does bog down in a couple of places, and maybe some of the charactors could have been developed in a litte more detail, but Postelwaite and Griffiths are thoroughly engrossing.
Also, the film is visually very interesting. Someone has a real eye for shot construction.
After looking at the user ratings, I was expecting to be disappointed. I wasn't.
