Way Overrated

Rating: 2/10 (27 December 2005)

This movie was so unbelievably bad, I'm truly astounded at its current composite rating (8.5, #64 overall). None of the characters were very interesting, and having each character do the exact opposite of what one would expect EVERY SINGLE SCENE made it just as predictable as if they'd made predictable decisions every time. There was virtually no attempt at nuance, but rather black is white and vice versa.
Sure, I can appreciate that there is good and evil within us all as well as the movie's attempts to challenge stereotypes, but the plot was so over-the-top that it had zero credibility. A particularly egregious example was the storyline with the TV producer and his wife. I was laughing at loud at the utter absurdity of it.
I apologize to those who are fans of this movie, but if you haven't seen it yet, there are thousands (rather than 63, ha!) movies that you could spend two hours viewing that would be more worthwhile.
