OK If you are a Hemingway or Scott fan but only if you want to see everything they have on film.
The dramatic actions are not staged very dramatically, CSI Miami does this sort of thing better nowadays. I was shocked the director did Patton. Shocked! I found this movie sexy however because Scott is a very attractive polar bear in the Hemingway mold, but he's sort of phoning it in. the looping keeps the quality down, and perhaps the editing hurts as much as anything.
I appreciated other reviewers' scholarly history on this film and the Wiki segment on the novel, which sounds more disjointed with a more ambiguous ending than the film.
