disappointingly disjointed

Rating: 5/10 (16 July 2008)

I saw this last night. Enjoyed the first 60 minutes. It was not a barrel of laughs as some of the jokes had been heard before and the plot was a bit thin on the ground but looked worth sticking with and had good potential due to heavyweights Smith and Theron.
Dragged a bit at times but good acting carried it till the last 30 odd minutes where it fell apart unbelievably. Can't understand how such a big movie can go so wrong. I seriously considered leaving the theatre towards the end but didn't as I never have done and would have disrupted a lot of people trying to escape.
Gave it 5 out of 10 for cast and acting but plot deserved 4/5 for first hour then 0/5. Still can't get my head around it!
As you would expect the main cast members were excellent.
