Concept: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Story: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Characters: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Dialog: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Pacing: 1/4 (Bad)
Cinematography: 1/4 (Bad)
Special effects/design: 1/4 (Bad). Appallingly bad aging makeup. He actually looks older in the flashbacks.
Acting: 3/4 (Good)
Music: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Subjective Rating: 4/10 (Eh, 2/4). It could have been worse; there are a couple scenes that work very well. If it had just been a crime/mystery story, it might have been good, but it's all framed within a terribly-written love story. Why are we expected to care (especially with all the other stuff going on in this movie) about a couple of boring characters' inability to express their feelings?
Objective Rating (Average): 1.8/4 (Eh)
