incredibly bad

Rating: Null/10 (15 April 2000)

This film was incredibly bad. The cinematography was flat and dull. The sets were unimaginative. The entire film was incoherent without any consistent theme development. Christian Bale and Willem Defoe were uninteresting (the latter surprises me). The humor is sparse and definitely not subtle. I spent 97 minutes wondering what I was missing, only to realize there was no substance to miss. An avid imagination will not save this film. Altogether one of the worst films in recent memory.
