Plot holes the size of man holes

Rating: 3/10 (17 March 2006)

Saw this last night at a preview showing and, while it'd be an amusing independent movie, it's a complete travesty as a mainstream studio film. All the stars bar Kim Director are wasted (she's the only one to make bets use of her chief asset, which isn't her acting). None of the actors are going to win a razzie but they all probably phoned in their performances via their agents' PAs. Jodie Foster (and her role) are especially wasted as they are only on screen to unveil an unlikely subplot involving Nazi collaboration, a subplot which points to the biggest failings of the film: the huge plot holes. I don't mind a film which makes you think but this one will make you invent half the plot just to understand where the film starts off.

The questions which come to mind are: how did Clive Owen's character come to know about Arthur Case? How did he know the exact location (an unlisted deposit box in one of the bank's branches)? Why does he care? How does he know about the security system in the bank? How did he know how to rig a bug in the messageboard? How did he monitor the bug given he had no audio equipment with him? How did he drown out the pizza box bugs by playing Enver Hoxha into one of the bugs?
Hope someone else enjoyed it more than me.
