Delete After Watching

Rating: 3/10 (26 March 2010)

As Mark Kermode would say, an hour and a half hours of my life I'll never get back. Having really liked Fargo and the Big Lebowski and O Brother Where Art Thou, along with many other reviewers I was looking forward to seeing this one based on the critical acclaim. Despite good acting it was ruined by a pointless and weak story. I hope someone takes the premise (of the security info found by a goof-ball) and makes a proper comedy out of it. No likable characters except perhaps Malkovitch's until he turns out to be a psychopathic killer, and Pitt's who is killed off too early on. Pointless, self absorbed waste of celluloid. The title of the film says it all.
