The Good Doctor - 6.7 : iMDB

So I was pondering why I'd got this film, and it's been sitting waiting for me to watch it for a while...then I realised as it started, it's because it's part of the Michael Peña back catalog, and I have to say its reminiscent of his old films that didn't grab my attention at all but he does play his part quite well.

Orlando Bloom stars as the doctor, and I'm not a huge fan of his but his personality certainly fits this role.  The film takes a bit of getting used to, and I guess shows the struggles of being a doctor, and how the decisions you make can impact not just your life but everyone elses too.

It's not the quickest of movies, and for a film which should probably make you sit back and think a bit more, I think it struggled to do that, at least for me, and I therefor won't be recommending it very highly.  But if you like Bloom, which I certainly did in Elizabethtown (may be more because of Dunst & the film), then I'm not going to stop you from watching it!

It gets a balmy 6.7.
