The Reader is a finely acted film with the standouts being David Kross, Ralph Fiennes, and Kate Winslet with Winslet winning an Oscar for this film. They're all great in this. The problem is that the film is dull as hell and very predictable. I went into this knowing nothing about it and guessed the two key plot points about the mysterious Hanna during the first thirty minutes. This film is your basic erotic, fascist after school special that really was about trying to get awards. A very dull film that bored be to tears. I just don't even want to think about this one anymore.
