Query: Great acting but no plot to support it

Almost all the right elements were present; casting, cinematic mood, musical score. All that appears to have been missing was a script. Not even the brilliant performances of Johnny Depp, Lena Olin, Frank Langella and Barbara Jefford can make up for the lack of true tension I have come to expect from a Roman Polanski film. Its a fairly long film (133 min) that spends most of that time building up to a totally non climatic ending. Although the character development of the protagonist (Depp) was well done and the photographic "feel" was superb, the plot lacked sufficient substance to support all the build up.
