Lost in Translation

Rating: 1/10 (20 November 2004)

It takes more than a promising cast, an historically accurate script and great costumes to make a good movie. It only takes some really bad hair, (who knew they had bad streak jobs even back then?), a hack editing job and ridiculous
dialogue to make a stinker.
Oliver Stone may be a genius but even geniuses it seems make mistakes which
makes this film all the more disappointing. If you want to know what it feels like to sit through a 3 hour film, none of whose characters you ever end up caring anything about, well this film is for you.
For those who say they loved this film, come on, fess up, did you really watch it? Or wait, did you work on the film? Something, something, something is up with that.
For those responding to all of the comments regarding accents in this film, I believe most reviewers are commenting on the accents of the supporting cast
and not just, if even, Colin Farrel. The accents, Scottish, Irish, made up, were very distracting.
Whatever Oliver Stone was trying to accomplish it didn't translate on the screen.
