movie review - 28 Days

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Sydney, 2000.06.20

An excellent tale about a recovering drunk. Very worth watching, especially Bullock, who can be iffy. Actually, she was superb. A good story devoid of the common sermonizing or overwrought emotional stuff.

Strongly recommended.

Remove everything that has no relevance to the story. If you say in the first chapter that there is a rifle hanging on the wall, in the second or third chapter it absolutely must go off. If it's not going to be fired, it shouldn't be hanging there.

—Anton Chekhov
