Query: Viggo Mortensen Wasted

I think the idea here was to turn Cormac McCarthy's novel into a film which was more similar to ROAD WARRIOR, however with more literary value and somberness. Somber they got down. This is so somber that I had trouble sitting still. I was getting bored. The pacing was off too. I really like Viggo Mortensen and I am thinking of the many splendid movies he has made. My favorite of his was HISTORY OF VIOLENCE. There sure was nothing somber or leadenly paced about that film!So this is a film about a man and his son who keep living and trudging about in a post apocalyptic world even though they don't have a moment's enjoyment in the lives they are living. The father teaches the son how to commit suicide. They come across some suicides in a barn. They also come across a band of marauders.Viggo Mortensen can't save this film and that is saying a lot. This idea was done much better decades ago. In addition to ROAD WARRIOR, I would also recommend Jane Alexander in TESTAMENT.
