Paul Newman and Tom Hanks save this movie from mediocrity. Jude Law's not bad either. There are lots of weird inconsistencies, like the time of year: In the last third of the film, it seems to change from winter to spring overnight. Sloppy plotting, too- did the director really think we would forget that Jude Law's character was still lurking about? Hanks's sudden death seemed painfully obvious from miles away.
