Closing the Ring
UK 2007, 148 minutes
Dir. Richard Attenborough
Genres: Drama / Romance, War
Topics: Period 1940s.
Feat. Shirley Maclaine, Christopher Plummer, Mischa Barton, Neve Campbell, Pete Postlethwaite, Brenda Fricker, Gregory Smith
Aroview: Richard Attenborough-directed romance set both in the '40s and present-day, following the wartime history of a ring and an unbreakable pact. Runs on too long and loses focus through an oscillating narrative, but the experienced acting chops of twilight thespians Maclaine and Plummer raise this tender weepie up a notch.

2 stars (Good Try) Shoots itself in the foot by being too long. The screenplay is uneven but is helped out by the two classy leads but it really works best when the supports Postlethwaite and Fricker are on camera. ~Tubbs
