Blah, blah, blah.....

Rating: 1/10 (6 January 2007)

Charlize Theron puts on a masterful fictional performance. And as pure fiction, this might be compelling. But it is not. This was a real woman that was a useless psychopath who chose her life of prostitution, murder and mayhem. What is presented as real life is nothing more than pretentious clap-trap and revisionist pablum. The men she killed and the families that suffered as a result are not represented or even considered. Yet somehow the ridiculous yahoos that run Hollywood decided her life was worth sharing, even immortalizing...What a waste of my time...Yet having said all that, if stories that disturb you are of interest, this is a compelling watch. Still, I'm annoyed for having had to sit threw it, and even more disturbed than ever of what passes for taste and culture by those in the entertainment industry.
