Overrated! Don't Waste your Time!!

Rating: 1/10 (25 October 2008)

I've watched this movie a few times in a vain attempt to like it. Each time it actually became harder and harder to get through it.
It's doing the "Pulp Fiction" thing in the course it runs....yes I get it. I understand what's going on, but just because I understand it doesn't mean i'm going to like it. Pulp Fiction at least could string its "backward" story together coherently and every single character was interesting and "human".
Dull, dull characters, and a snoozing and an increasingly boring plot line suck any joy that you might be looking to get while viewing this trash. (I understand the concept of drama, or even a good "who done it?" but for god sake do it correctly!) Unlikable characters and certainly none that you can relate to. The only remote bright spot I found with this movie was the performance of Joe Pantoliano and he couldn't even salvage this wreck. Pretty sad when a supporting character injects more interest in your movie than any of your main ones!
The continuity (yes even is reverse) constantly contradicts itself, and is so much more over complicated than need be, that you just say "oh the hell with it" about halfway through...that is if you haven't fallen asleep yet. I honestly am dumbfounded as to why this movie is so popular, and even more baffled as to what it's doing on the IMDb's top 250. The only thing I can figure is either a lot of people will vote "10" on anything that Christopher Nolan does; anything that could be considered "alternative or indie" or that there's a trend occurring that anything that might be different from your standard movie "must be cool."
Thank goodness Nolan redeemed himself with "Batman Begins" & "The Dark Knight" or I would seriously consider boycotting his future work.
Absolute garbage abound with lousy writing, unconvincing and lousy acting and unengaging dull characters (except Pantoliano). Save yourself two hours of your life and see something else instead.
