Not too impressed

Rating: 3/10 (26 March 2012)

This movie was just not that great. Literally everything about it is poor quality.
The acting, the cinematography, the sound, the writing, it's all bad. Why oh why oh why was Harnett in a towel for 40 minutes and why oh why oh why was it so irritating to see him eating a sandwich with bread that white. Ugh, I'm shivering.
The dialogue in this thing, are you kidding. This movie feels like a cross between Tarantino and that young guy who was in Die Hard 4 and who's in those techie computers. The result: Annoying! How could I possibly care for Slevin in this movie. The sensibility where the 'good guy' won't take any lip from the bad guy and is instead a 'conundrum' does nothing to make me ally with him, to care about what happens to him. And I don't blame just the actor - this is also the directing.
The way they use sound in this movie can be insulting, too, along with the editing. Well, what isn't most concerning here is how bad this movie is, but it's the high reviews its getting, for the most part. Oh, man, I give up ...
