just another boring movie

Rating: 3/10 (6 August 2004)

I was watching Lumet's 12 Angry Man last night and went to see matinée, the 'Collateral' hoping for a nice Friday morning late morning fun. Reading these posts here I feel like that guy  one of twelve in before mentioned flick  and cannot believe what I see. Great movie? Someone even said 'lovely camera angels'? What in the name of movie fan that supposed to mean?
This movie is just another shallow example how Hollywood does not give a sh* about a real, good, exciting story. I mean, that was a slew of impossible events (one cab driver in a city like L.A. the same night meets both a Prosecutor on the case and a Killer on the same case, give me break) and a bundle of plain stupid episodes (Killer goes with a cab driver to see latter's mother in a hospital, the police pull over the damaged car and let it go. Every cab driver would tell you that there is no way he or she would drive all night around L.A. with broken windshield) etc., etc. etc.! Than that shutout in the nightclub? My gosh, just look at that stupid mess, no sense whatsoever oh, my, I can not even continue this
Quite a few people left the theatre before the movie ends. I stayed hoping something would happen, something exciting, surprising, interesting. Nothing happened, of course. This movie is, like waste majority of Hollywood new wave garbage waste of time and money.
Before making a parallel with Alfred Hitchcock rent one of his movies instead. And ponder characters and 'lovely camera angels'. My gosh unbelievable torture unless you're 12 years old kid who skipped the school to make out with his girlfriend. Or maybe, this was a comedy, who ridiculous is but I was unable to grasp it?
