Perhaps the most overrated film of 2006

Rating: 1/10 (15 October 2007)

OK, I give up. What was it that everybody liked about this film? The story is pathetic and seems like something that somebody drew up in twenty minutes, the characters are all pretty dull and the ones that are interesting are only so because they are so stupid that they are funny. Yeah, there was one huge continuous shot at the end of the movie with Clive Owen running around. So what? How does that even come close to making a good movie? It's a guy running for ten minutes. It shouldn't matter whether it was one shot or if it was broken up, it's still boring as hell. In fact, most of this movie was people walking or running. Where is Randall from Clerks II when you need him? We have people walking and nothing even close to a plot. Is there a purpose to this movie? Some moral at the end? The best I can come up with is "Don't go to war if chicks randomly stop giving birth for absolutely no reason." You know, I'm pretty sure we already had a movie about the world going to hell and Britain still kind of holding it together. It was called V For Vendetta, and it didn't completely suck. A movie based on a comic book made more sense and was more coherent than this piece of crap. What does that tell you? There was only one good thing about this film: Julianne Moore got shot in the face before the rest of this movie destroyed what little is left of her career. It's a good thing Michael Caine has The Dark Night coming up this summer so that he won't be ruined by this crap too.
