Overedited

Rating: 2/10 (5 April 2016)

I've just realised why this film was so bad, the Wachowski brothers got their hands on an incredible story and over-edited it. I loved the book, the way it changes from one time in history to the next each chapter and you slowly realise that each character is linked to the last; this is what makes it so compelling. Instead the Wachowskis gave away the central plot within the first 10 minutes.
The film is cast and shot well but whoever edited this should have been fired, the nonstop quick cuts from one time to the next make this film barely watchable. I am seriously considering re-editing this myself so it follows the book because then it actually might be a half-decent movie.
