Not Stone's Fault this movie failed

Rating: 2/10 (19 August 2005)

Besides Colin Farrel's acting which is laughable at times, this movie fails in its editing. There are too many film techniques used in this movie. It is set in chronological order with narration (Hopkins), but gets confusing with the use of flashbacks. To make matters worse, there is more than one narrator at times to tell the story (Jolie) via letters.
It took me 3 different sitting to get through this movie. It simply could not hold my attention.
The battle scenes are amazing and Angelina Jolie's performance was outstanding. Hats off to Val Kilmer as well.
