rejection of consumerism hard to swallow...

Rating: 1/10 (15 April 2004)

coming from cast members who've enjoyed multi-million dollar l.a weddings etc.
if you're going to comment on issues as fundamental as this, then live the lifestyle. otherwise it just doesn't wash. you should leave it to someone else.
pitt is also very unrealistic as a tough guy in this movie. his performance in snatch was much better and benefited from some humour. the chain smoking carter is also tedious and fake
i found this movie both pretentious and irritating. i've met many people who found this film illuminating... it said absolutely nothing to me.
