I love Cate Blanchett. She plays her characters with meat. Hers was a strong female character, but the poor script was a bit vague about her Christianity which is also a character in the story.
It went on about 30 minutes too long with all the spiritual BS. The magical powers and magical potions. Tommy Lee Jones, who cared about him? He was foolish and that hair was way too long for how thin it was. The natural drug stuff? with the eagle shadow, give me a break. The reality of rescuing your kid from a sex-slaver would be enough without the silly stuff.
Heck, when Aaron Eckhart was burritoed, I thought the movie was near the end. That was a memorable image, by the way. I can't get it out of my mind. That and Dot's small shoes. Those are the most memorable things about that movie.
The ending was dumb. It was like they got tired and went home without nicely wrapping things up.
