Where's my Dramamine

Rating: Null/10 (18 September 2004)

This movie tried way too hard to be "artistic" and fell flat on its face. The jittery camera scenes and fast-forward sprints every 5 minutes was actually nauseating at times. It did nothing to advance the film or the feeling. The movie is like a big rock stuck in the mud and until 3/4 of the way through the movie you can't get it to budge. When it finally does move, it takes an awkward half roll and comes to a stop, stuck forever. You have no reason to care for the characters and are left waiting desperately for some death and destruction to goad you from the stupor you will find yourself in. The action scenes are amusing as they provide a diversion from the rest of the movie. As the other review states, I have to agree that this is the worst Denzel Washington movie I have ever seen.
