unbelievably superficial

Rating: 3/10 (18 September 2013)

I have not watched something so utterly superficial and falsely intellectual in ages, and I am not really one of those demanding types at all. It goes along well with other moronic attempts such as Jolie's film about the war in Bosnia. This "masterpiece" is set in an inexistent land (?), with the political situation and other circumstances resembling to those of Lebanon. The resemblance with the real life stops there. What follows is a chain of unrealistic and senseless occurrences, which aim to shock the viewer, but it is actually going from bad to worse each minute. All in all, this is pathetic attempt to elucidate the sense of human suffering and get an insight in destructive forces within through the portray of society in a spiral of violence. Bad, stupid, boring, and more Hollywood than anything I have seen lately.
