Soap-boxy and self important.

Rating: 5/10 (15 May 2006)

I like to think I have an open mind. I enjoy a movie that makes me think. This is not one of those movies. What really burns me is that it could have been great. The cast is fantastic and the editing and cinematography are amazing. The idea behind the movie is great, A 36 hour period in which many diverse lives are brought together and mixed up with one another, the problem is that everyone is a stereotype, and all the choices are clichéd. I truly had hope for this movie. I had heard that it was unique and mind-opening. However, not one of the characters is likable and I can't care about people that have no redeeming qualities. Like I said I enjoy a movie that makes me think, a stereotypical soapbox movie that says nothing new is not one of those.
