Dreadful...truly dreadful

Rating: 1/10 (10 August 2005)

Truly dire. An example on how not to make a movie. Oliver Stone has over the years provided us with cinematic master-classes in suspense, black comedy, drama and innovative editing. This movie is a steaming pile of horse manure. Colin Farrell is even more abysmal than usual and the decision to make Alexander Irish has to be the biggest movie gaff since Dustin Hoffman signed up for Ishtar. 3 hours of utter garbage. Stick to the 1960s Mr Stone. Troy was fairly garbage but looks like Gladiator compared to this pig of film. A director's cut is the last thing we need (unless it includes a whole new movie without Farrell). RUBBISH RUBBISH RUBBISH
