Disappointing!

Rating: 1/10 (18 July 2010)

This is a movie that definitely was majorly hyped as Matrix meets James Bond. It was neither. The plot is very confused and unless you want to start a chart be prepared to miss a few things here and there. One reviewer earlier said you have to watch it at least twice to understand it. REALLY??? A dream inside a dream inside another dream and inside yet another dream only to realize at the end the whole movie was a dream so it was yet another layer deep. Please.... just tell the story. A 2 hour plus movie that shows the same flashbacks again and again just to prove the the lead character is deeply mourning and hiding something. I swear if I saw the same cutaway scene of his 2 kids again I was going to scream.
The graphics are mediocre at best... CGI is CGI it's not new guys. Just because you can bend a street..... doesn't make it as ground breaking as Matrix... whoopee! As for James Bond.... not really. A few gun battles and a grenade don;t make you a James Bond. Besides James Bond is based on a character who fights for queen and country.... not to rip off a company for personal gains. At best these scenes are comparable to a first person shooter like Battlefield.
The main character played by Leo is the same character over and over from him. Shutter Island, The Aviator, The Island, etc is a deeply troubled character with secrets which end up cursing the main character to sacrifice. It's tried and boring from Leo... branch out buddy... your not getting any younger.
Overall, this was just not as hyped as a lot of movies are these days. A movie that is about 30 minutes longer than it should and with high priced talent which could have been performed better by lesser more able actors.... I say save your $15 and wait a few months till its on HBO
