Absolute Tosh

Rating: 1/10 (30 June 2005)

I went to see this movie with my wife. I thought the basic premise of the movie was good, and though I got a slight tickle from one or two of the lines, for the most part I endured the show. There was plenty of action scenes for those who enjoy Hollywood pyrotechnics etc., but other than that it was complete drivel. But for my wife I would have went home half way through.
The plot started slowly, so I was bored for the first fifteen minutes to begin with. When we finally got to the action it was monotonous. The dialogue was hardly riveting, although there was the odd funny line. Brad Pitt looked throughout like the whole thing was an exercise in self indulgence. Jolie, less so.
To me this was the Warof the Roses with explosives, although I much preferred the War of the Roses to this. If you must see this film hire it on DVD - it is not worth the trip to the cinema. In a word - "awful".
