Overrated

Rating: 4/10 (3 August 2005)

Clunky, predictable, but politically correct. Matt Dillion saved it from really stinking.
The multistory line flavor of current film (Go! and Pulp Fiction) makes the movie-making so tangibly present that getting into the movie is difficult. Only Pulp Fiction has succeeded in the form because it was meant to be like a comic book. It is very difficult to get lost in a film that keeps reminding you that it is a film with slow-mo digital and constant cute cuts.
Dillion's character was well played. One could understand his multidimensional character. The others characters seemed contrived in revealing their many sides. I found the movie to be one where it's fun to talk about how you enjoyed it, but actually enjoying it? That's another question entirely.
