One Big Waste of Time

Rating: 1/10 (24 August 2006)

This will be the first movie I've reviewed. I was driven to it by this horrible movie I just watched. At the end I just sat there wondering what I'd just seen and why. I have no clue what it was trying to convey or where it was supposed to be going, but in my view it never got there. The worst of it was the plot, which was plodding and tiresome. This was followed closely by a fair acting job by Denzel Washington (who is one of my favorites) and terrible acting by everyone else, particularly Jodie Foster. Her portrayal of her character was just too cutesy and I found it annoying. I believed all the hype over this movie and ended up wasting 2 hrs. of my life that I will never get back!! I will be checking reviews more closely in the future.
