There really isn't much to say here. I really wanted to enjoy Doubt, but I just couldn't. I thought that Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Meryl Streep, and Amy Adams all did excellent jobs, but the film failed to garner any genuine interest within me. I waited and hoped for some sort of interesting twist, or graphic fight, hell I even waited for an angry mob. Did I get any of those? Nope. Not even a hint of them.
I am awarding Doubt three stars out of five for its great acting but lack of intrigue. In the end this film really just felt like an Oscar grab more than anything else... and it was successful in that respect. Though I really don't think that Viola Davis deserves her Best Supporting Actress nomination. She only had ten or so minutes of screen time, and only a few minutes of dialogue.
