Man, I really wanted to like this movie. Interesting story referencing true events, great actors, killer score. But it clocked in at 2 hours and 20 minutes and did drag in places. A good but not a great movie. Could have been special. Worth seeing for Edward Norton's performance.

 
Why did you want to like it?

PS: The trailer looks pretty interesting!
 
I enjoyed the film as well and thought it moved along at a good pace. Didn't check the time once during the movie.

Ed Norton was very good. The only criticism I had was that the Tourette's Syndrome aspect didn't seem absolutely necessary. It did play into a couple of plot points and was in the book the movie was based on so....there it was.

Good attention to detail in the making of the movie - buildings, vehicles, costumes were all spot on for the time period.
