Expected more from director of Memento

Rating: 6/10 (2 May 2002)

I was very disappointed when I came out of my schools theater from this. Robin Williams, who apparently strung himself thin, was in two movies that aren't going to make it very far... this and Death to Smoochy. Meanwhile, Al Pacino plays his overused character as it is... overused. The "intrigue" in the subplot is marginal, causing some of the extremely predictable scenes to drag even more with talk of internal affairs and some thingy with people in jail. There's some teenage angst which is thrown in for the hell of it, and just general uninterestingness. The insomnia scenes are also quite boring. So yeah. It's a movie. Might make a good deal at the box office, but not really worth it.
