tandc-53810 ALERT ALERT ! THIS IS A BORING AWFUL MESS. It bears no resemblance to the Amanda Knox story. It is soooo bad that I have been avoiding Daniel Bruhl movies...did he even read the script before signing up for this? Kate Beckinsale, a very fine actress, must feel ashamed for participating. Do yourself a favor. Count your ceiling tiles, watch some paint dry, view a yacht race from afar, or rearrange your sock drawer. ANY IF THESE ARE MORE EXCITING THAN THIS MOVIE!!

franzrebs Only one-thirds into the movie did I realize what it was supposed to be: a multi-layered, poetic piece with lofty characters. I should've gotten the hint from the opening scene and the narrative prose throughout the movie. Unfortunately it all ended up as too pretentious and cannot even be filed under the pool of psychological thrillers.It's got a lot of lost potential; we've got some good actors caught in their bad moments, as if they couldn't afford another take. It was difficult to empathize with any of the characters. Eventually I got tired of watching Thomas (Daniel Brühl) going on impulsive snog fests with Simone and sniff cocaine because god knows why... it's hard to figure out what kind of character he's supposed to be. The only two characters true-to-form were Edoardo (Valerio Mastandrea) and Melanie (Cara Delevingne), and I'd have to give a special mention to Delevingne mostly for actually doing well in her first speaking part in a feature film.

sanddollar-08250 I never write reviews, but actually signed on to this site to post a review after watching this movie. I feel like I just wasted two hours of my life. It takes a lot for me to not like a movie... I can usually find something to like....but not with this movie. I thought this movie would be about the story of the murder. It's not. It's really a movie about the writer's experiences while researching this murder. The whole movie is a bumbling mess, focused more on the writer's life, than on the actual murder case. It should not be advertised as being about the murder. It's really like this writer used this story as a platform to write a story about his own life, which by the way, is not interesting enough to carry a movie. To make it even worse, the very few moments they recreate the trial....it's all spoken in Italian with no translation.

Sup Erhot Persson This is by far the worst movie I have seen in a long time. Throughout the whole thing I was waiting for something to finally start happening. Anything. I compare the experience to being forced to listen to someone whining for hours without an end... There were too many side stories, most of which were utterly boring and only shallowly touching upon the issues of cheating, drug abuse, family problems, psychos, depression. It seems they would throw 'anything' in there but they really failed to find an angle for the story. And this is what the story is about - failure. The main character is a failure, the story is a failure, the fact that murder is not solved is a failure. But the biggest failure of all is this badly directed movie. I have never been so agitated by watching a movie and while in the cinema I was thinking ''why don't you drown now'' about the main character... at least it would make this movie interesting in some way. I wish I could get a refund for watching this.
