Fooling some of the people all of the time......

Rating: 1/10 (19 November 2011)

I lasted about 90 minutes before turning off this nonsense.What had the makings of a decent cops and robbers film is totally ruined by too much talking, multiple sub plots, and a storyline I was unable to follow.It really ought to be perfectly possible with a decent cast to give us a semi believable and exciting story about robbers being pursued by cops, right? Wrong: What we get is being exposed to the exceedingly soap opera-ish private life of some of the main characters in this film. Boring, boring boring. This movie bears little resemblance to real life and is unrealistic. The picture goes on far too long. I would think it runs into thousands the times we get films about policemen who have families who resent the irregular hours the cop works and the difficulties their jobs cause to their home life etc etc and blah, blah, blah. Who cares.....as most people watch movies to be entertained and not to have to be tortured in viewing the tedious domestic lives of others. Incidentally: A good way to know if a movie is worth watching is to see what the critic Roger Ebert says about it. As a general rule if he raves over a film, then usually it ain't worth seeing. If he says its' not his taste, then take a look!
