Sent a movie back unwatched

I don't usually do that, and it's not that it's a terrible movie.

It's called Hands over the City.It's about urban development politics, which I expected to be interested in, but in this case I just wasn't. I tried twice, and I just couldn't get interested in any of the characters enough to even recognize them when they came back in later scenes.

There is a good scene at the beginning when a building collapses, injuring several people. You expect that kind of European film to have a lot of visual interest even if you don't like the characters, but I think one of the points of this one was how ugly the development was making Naples, and there were an awful lot of ugly shots of skyscrapers.

So I can't really tell you not to watch it, because it could be if I'd persevered there would have been all kinds of catharsis. But I can tell you I found the first 50 minutes or so pretty boring.
