Bel Ami 2012


Bel Ami (2012)     Guy de Maupassant is a destitute young soldier determined to better his circumstances.  He looks into the window of a restaurant and sees what the wealthy are eating compared to his lone crust of bread.  He meets an influential man who turns his situation around but it is the women he meets that help him retain this lifestyle.
     I wonder if Pattinson will ever be in any movie that is any good?  Water for Elephants is as close as he has come to a good movie.  I think the idea and plot are terrible, I do like the women actors.  3* (This movie is OK)

102 min, Drama directed by Nick Ormerod, Declan Donnellan with Robert Pattinson, Christina Ricci, Uma Thurman, Kristin Scott Thomas, Colm Meaney.   

Note:  Blockbuster 2 ½*, imdb 5.4 out of 10, 28% critic 34% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
