Don't believe the hype

Rating: 4/10 (19 February 2014)

I haven't been so disappointed in a film for quite some time. The premise of the storyline has been done a hundred times before and was entirely predictable. There was little action, it was too drawn out, there was no comedy of any sort. There was no fun. It just dragged, and I found myself wanting it to just wrap up, exactly how we knew it was going to wrap up, which it then did. Finallly.
I'm surprised the reviews have been so positive. I don't know if that's as a result of the marketing on the film, or what. Or maybe the reviewers got a big fat brown envelope. I guess I'm just surprised that I'm the only one thinking this was a poor film.
So if you want big actors, predictable story but a glossy production then you'll probably love the film. But for entertainment value it really offered very little.
