Reiner Scheiss Dreck

Rating: Null/10 (26 May 2007)

This would have been, should have been, could have been a good movie. The plot was certainly compelling, and the acting was good. I watched this movie because Denzel Washington was in it, and he usually makes good movies.
The downside of this flick (and it really does flicker) is the 'lightning-storm' special effects, which are so overdone that it seems like they are trying to keep the viewer awake, as if the plot itself were unable to accomplish this. My eyes took a real beating in those 147 minutes.
With movies like this to watch, one doesn't need to do drugs, just watch the movie.
Then ending of this movie is absurd beyond description, as illogical as anything I've ever seen. I won't give it away here, in case you want to waste 147 minutes of your life on this dreck.
