I want to cry...

Rating: 1/10 (23 March 2005)

We have a hero, great cinematography, and the potential for a good story. Please, please, please tell me why the end result was this...this...gargantuan waste of three hours that I can never get back. After three long, agonizing, hours, it just ended. I had invested so much time into this, I refused to not see how it ended. The movie sets it up so that within the first hour you know that every little tiny detail of the movie will take thirty minutes to tell, so you expect a little more to the ending then our supposed hero ( but in reality a child trying to prove a point no one really gets) just riding off in the dust to go home escorted by a badly accented driver. That was all. Lawrence giggling like an idiot and prancing like a fairy in his new Arab clothes, what fun! What a movie! By the end of the first hour you really end up wondering what the hell they are going to do for the next two hours. You soon discover that it's not much. After trying to stay awake for over three hours i was really needing more than this to justify my time wasted. If you want a great movie watching experience of over two hours go for The Godfather or Gone with the Wind, DO NOT waste your time with this overacted drama full of sand and little else.
