Could have been so much better

Rating: 6/10 (6 November 2005)

Good points Jake Gyllenhaal reminds me a lot of a young Nicolas Cage and did a first rate job as lead character.
Well written, and quite humorous at times.
Soundtrack was good.
Not so good points: Director bit off more than he could chew.
Cinematics were only so-so. The wobbly camera thing works if you are filming from a first person perspective, otherwise its called poor camera control.
A few dead spots that add nothing to the film.
Had Coppola, Scorsese, or Zemeckis been directing this, it could have been great. They weren't, and it wasn't.
