Half a movie...and half of another

Rating: 3/10 (27 June 2009)

The story starts off interesting, heads down a path...which turns into a dead end...so the director takes off in another direction and ends up with...what? Another movie...and not a very good one at that.
Did the director get religion halfway through the film? I heard that's what happened with the last Omen sequel.
One good point: There -was- an ending (which is more than one can say about No Country for Old Men); it just wasn't the ending of the same film that I started watching an hour before - same actors but a different story.
This film reminded me of the board game Clue. As the film progressed, the director pulled the cards out of his behind. "Colonel Mustard" "in the library" "with a knife". No internal logic. Speaking of clues, I should have known how bad the film could be by seeing the producer and director were the same person. He probably couldn't get anyone else interesting in producing it (or directing it). The more I think about the movie, the angrier I get. I'm going to wash my hands thoroughly.
Anyway, if you can possibly avoid this film, do so. It will be on TNT soon enough.
Summary: An awful waste of time. I'm giving it a 3 based upon the potential of the first half.
