A loud, shouty and messy film set around games of table tennis, with an odious, delusional hero. What’s to like? Not a lot! Far too long at 2½ hours, it went on and on and on. There wasn’t any story development just a series of noisy scenes leading nowhere.
A tale about a loud and delusional American – no thank you.
However, Gwyneth Paltrow was delightful. She was in one of my favourite films, Hard Eight, and was also delightful in the film Sliding Doors.
