A Disaster

Rating: 2/10 (24 April 2006)

I laid down my $8.50 and grabbed my popcorn, ready for a good Willis movie, he rarely disappoints, but instead ended up with a movie that forced it's way through tricks and trades of clever movies like Pulp, The Usual Suspects, and alike. The dialog was in your face verbal warring; a who can top the next line battle. I found it very difficult to suspend my belief and I was very aware of the fact that I was watching people perform. I'm sorry, but no one is that clever, or at least, not everyone you come into contact with is that clever. The trick was that you knew you were watching a trick, a con, but how will it play out? If you have a small idea about cinema, you'll have the entire movie figured out by the second act. Willis was great, but not enough of his character to keep you satisfied. I was very disappointed and I blame the director in the end. He could have done better if he would have taken the time. Don't bother renting. Wait for cable.
