I walked out

Rating: 2/10 (25 January 2002)

Maybe it got better after the first 30 minutes... I don't care enough to find out. What I saw in that time was inappropriately "pretty" photography matched with incomprehensible dialog (in fairness, the sound system of the theater where I saw it could have have been responsible for my understanding only one out of
every three words, but I doubt it was responsible for each of those words being part of a cliche) and characters all cut with the same dull cookie cutter. After this, "Blade Runner," and "Black Rain" I've decided that Ridley Scott is one of the most overrated directors of the past 30 years. More power to everyone that loved this - I thought it was an pretentious mess.
