Too clever

Rating: 6/10 (6 June 2006)

This is a thriller there you really can't tell which are the good guys and which are the bad. It confuses you many times. It's a fascinating try, but it is...too clever.
There's a smart dialog here. And too smart clothes. And no real people. Washington, Dafoe, Plummer and Foster don't work that hard; maybe they are a little confused about the content too.
If it wasn't for Spike Lee directing, I don't think this movie would have been made. Not in Hollywood and not anywhere else. It's an interesting failure and, by all means, a rather entertaining one. But if you expect tension, you'll get disappointed.
