Runs well over 2 hours, feels like 4.

Rating: 3/10 (5 June 2009)

Boooooor-ring. That's about all that can be said. Running time of over 2 hours feels like four by the end. Not even good as a chick flick, due to the total lack of romance. Angelina Jolie performs passably well in the hopeless task of breathing life into this corpse of a film, but even she cannot do much with the material. Worse than that, the 1930's era clothing doesn't even give one a chance to appreciate Jolie's physical beauty. No sex, no violence, no romance, no action - to whom was this movie meant to appeal? The sets were almost laughable, as apparently everyone in 1928 drove perfectly immaculate, polished cars that look like they were driven directly to the set from a 2008 antique auto show. The clothing and interiors were the same - perfect, clean, polished, immaculate. Better throw in surreal and fake. As a big Clint Eastwood fan, as well as an admirer of Angelina, I had high hopes for this film. Sadly, none were met. Don't even bother to rent it. It's just not worth it.
