This movie will be making our "All Time Worst" list. The art of film was not advanced by The English Patient. The cinematography was unoriginal and the story was slow and left the viewer without a hero to root for. This movie is definitely one to pass on if you've never seen it.

Callie
Favorite: I liked the mystery of the movie.
Least Favorite: The pace was way too slow.

Joel
Favorite: I like the mystery that surrounded Almsay at first. However, as the story unfolded I began to get bored with the character.
Least Favorite: There was a disconnect between the flashback scenes and the scenes in the present day. The sequences often went too long that I forgot was what going on in the "other" story.
