Painful to watch

Rating: 1/10 (19 September 2009)

OK, here goes.....
This was PAINFUL to watch. Someone recommended it to me multiple times, and when I saw it in the WalMart bargain bin for $5 I picked it up. I was glued the whole time, and that usually is a mark of a good movie for me. Can I be captivated for 2 hours?, if so, "good movie". In this case, it was 3 hours of pain. I was captivated because I kept holding out for something to happen (since it was so highly recommended), but it never came. It is what I call a "Cluster F@#$%K". It was all over the place. I think someone decided to get Brad Pitt for their movie, and THEN made the movie. This is clearly made to showcase Brad's pretty face for 3..long...boring....hours.
I loved Legends of the Fall, which had both of these guys in it, so I am not anti-Brad. And I love Hopkins (as long as he isn't playing Hannibal). But this movie goes NO WHERE FAST! (I mean...SLOW!!). You may get a woman to stare at Brad for 3 hours, or maybe a gay fella, but for me, you MUST have a better story line that THAT!. Wow....BAD. Whoever said "hey. lets make a shallow stupid film, and lets let it go for 3 hours, needs to find another line of work.
Jeffrey Tambor is the same character he plays in EVERY movie. But it was Jake Weber that gave me whatever it took to stick around and say I SAW one of the worst movies of all time. And when I tell someone that opinion, I Don't want to hear "Did you see the end? NO? OH you MISSED IT!". Nope, I saw the whole stupid thing.
