Salmon Fishing In the Yemen


This movie felt more like a government subsidized welfare project put out with the help of CBS Films, than a good movie.  The characters are vague, the story is a stretch, and I left early.

Being a fan of Ewan McGregor did not help me sit through the film.  I was so lost with the roles and characters bythe end of the first 'segment' of the film, I became frustrated and disinterested.  There are a dozen people talking and emailing and working on a fishing project in Yemen.  The weather and water flow made it sound like a Department of Fish and Game hearing on an environmental impact project.  How fun does this sound?

I can't give it more than 1 out of 5 Cyclones.  Maybe if a friend rents it in the future, I can reevaluate the film.  But with a sponsor like Grace Hill Media for promotion of the film, the messages came through loud and clear what kind of film I might be stepping into.  And step into 'it' I did, and getting out if it I did just as quickly.
