Can't get by the camera work

Rating: 1/10 (23 May 2008)

I have read the comments by others and maybe this could have been a good, maybe even great, movie.
I'll never know because I can't get past a half hour of it. Why, oh why, is this hand-held "fractured flickers" constantly shaking camera technique becoming so popular? It seems to achieve, in my mind, only two purposes. In some movies it hides poorly choreographed action scenes. The only other purpose seems to be to give anyone over 40 a splitting headache.
A migraine seriously detracts from the enjoyment of a movie. Save it for movies totally aimed at the MTV crowd.
I was really looking forward to this movie and if I can't physically watch more than a half hour, it gets a 1.
