Decent movie but oh so tiresome

Rating: 1/10 (20 July 2005)

I loved the action and all of the gadgets. I do like Angelina Jolie because she always plays a strong woman and that was why my boyfriend and I paid to see the movie this past Sunday, 7/17. However, for the first time in my entire 36 years of living and breathing on this planet, I almost fell asleep during the last 20 minutes or so of this movie and my boyfriend DID fall asleep. The only saving grace is that we saw it at the matinée price of $5.50 each but even that was far too much to pay to see this movie. I don't care one whit about Brad Pitt but I do like Angelina Jolie and I think that both actors did the best they could with what they had to deal with but this movie is just tiresome. Good premise but it falters at the end, BIG TIME!!!! I'm shocked that the director, producers, writer, etc.....the bigwigs.....didn't see the slowdown during the last 20 minutes or so. Don't want to spoil anything so I'll say this. Believe me, I'm not one to fall asleep easily. I have to have complete silence and darkness but yet, I damned near fell asleep during that part of the movie!! I forced myself to stay awake because my boyfriend was already asleep and he snores. There were about 30 people in the theater and I forced myself to stay awake so that I could shake my boyfriend in case he snored too loudly. I didn't want his snoring to disturb others.
Bad movie. Loved the gadgets, cars, Angelina Jolie but dang! I've never had to fight so hard to stay awake in a movie theater. Color me shocked!!!!
