dreadful nonsense

Rating: 3/10 (18 April 2006)

One of the worst films of this or any other year. Main problem is the casting with Josh Hartnett once again unable to carry the show, he must be very popular with some audience who can overlook acting ability in favour of bland skinny boy looks. Lucy Liu puts in another one note dismal performance. So it all rests on the older members of the cast who unfortunately cannot step up to the plate. Its all very slickly put on the screen but how many times do I need to see Bruce Willis play this sort of a role and Ben Kingsleys pent up rage? Hopefully not many more times. Its all up to the denouement which is the icing on this cake that failed to rise.
