What is all the fuss about?

Rating: 1/10 (2 January 2002)

One of my first clues that I was sitting through a terrible movie was how many times the dialog made me laugh. Forget the violence and gore, this was one of the silliest and longest disasters i had to sit through. Every time Russell mooned on about how much he missed his wife and old life it was like nails on a chalkboard, I can't believe he won an Oscar. Gladiator made me want to stop paying full price to sit in a theater all together. I actually had respect for Russell Crowe (L.A. Confidential) before this pig slop.
And whatever happened to director Scott? I can't believe this is the same man who made Blade Runner.
