Really nothing notable here..

Rating: 2/10 (21 January 2006)

To be honest, I found this movie irritating. It wasn't because the plot was Soooooo.....predictable or that the lighting was poor. It was the leading man J. Rhys Myers. He was simply flat. He was even too polished when the scene required that he only walk down the street. There's nothing natural about his acting. He's trying too hard, to the point of annoyance in some scenes, while in others, he barely seems awake. I think he brought the quality of what "could have been" an OK Woody Allen movie down. Mr Allen has never really impressed me too much. I know to be a producer/actor...etc..that one has to be eclectic and often times eccentric, but in Mr. Allen's case, he's just a sad demented post-middle aged man. He's not the least bit funny. I have to say that my money could have been better spent tipping a pizza boy and renting it at home, but I think 8 dollars Canadian would still a substantial waste. I try to keep my mind open and view movies done by producers/directors who I don't particularly care for. Sorry Woody-you still haven't done anything of quality to date.
