Awful leading actors

Rating: 1/10 (26 February 2002)

I honestly can't believe I sat through the entire movie.I was just relieved that I didn't go waste my money to see it in the theater and I didn't pay a penny to rent it. I almost enjoyed Penelope Cruz..Except for the fact that she didn't fit the part and she in my opinion played a two bit horror who hardly away from one man ran to another.And if she wasn't happy with Christian Bale's charactor you could've fooled me.The love scenes with her and Bale were the most romantic in the entire movie.Maybe the movie should've been cast about a girl that was madly in love with a guy that went away to war and she kept their love pure,but instead they brought Cage on the scene who after walking onto the screen ruint the entire movie.Maybe whoever wrote the script for the movie has never been in love..I don't know. Cage's accent must have been bought out of a speghetti sauce box,thats how bad it stunk.Not mentioning the fact that he didn't even belong in the movie.Not that I dislike Cage,he is a good actor just wasn't meant for this movie. Bale played a Excellent role great acting and good accent.I was actually quite shocked to see him in the movie because I never saw him in any of the advertisements for the movie and he turned out to be the only good part in the entire movie.For all you people who said his accent stunk..Maybe you are Greek or something,but this movie was meant for an American audience and as an American I think he did a very good job with the accent.. Whoever that was that played Cruz father,He was a good actor just had too many drawn out speeches. In all too drawn out lousy script.And bad leading role actors.Good supporting cast.1 out of 10
