don't bother

Rating: 2/10 (8 August 2006)

Well, he doesn't have me fooled. This is not a thriller, it's a mishmash. The payoff is hardly worthy of a name, talk about mailed in performances, good thing I rented it and didn't have to fork over any big loot in a theater. In fact it is just this sort of movie that is ruining Hollywood: a camera swinging all the place, the better to disorient you, the F word instead of decent dialog, and with somebody like Lee always, always, always some insistent political correctness. OKay right from the start we knew Plummer needed something fetched from his safety deposit vault, something incriminating: all right. Stupid from the start. Why did he hang onto it. And if so why put in an unsafe place like a safety deposit vault, how about some vital rabbit hole on his country estate. This will definitely be my last Lee movie, and thank goodness there were not many before it. Fortunately I just got through seeing the Matador, as a reminder how good movies can get.
