Before and After

As I may have mentioned in a previous post, Liam Neeson is one of my favorite actors.  So as with all my top choice actors I will see pretty much any movie they appear in.  Before and After is not typical of a movie I ordinarily would endorse, and while I would like to say this one changed my mind, it did not.  This drama was a bit too slow, and dramatic.  haha.  Co-starring Meryl Streep, who is also amazing, Edward Furlong, who was John Connor in Terminator 2, and Alfred Molina of Chocolat, the cast was top notch.  It is hard to pinpoint the problem with this film.  Good actors?  Check.  Interesting story?  Check.  Oh, I know - terrible pacing and unpleasant characters.  While the film used talented actors none of their characters were particularly likable.  I guess that puts this film in a good-idea-bad-execution category.
