Save your money and wait for the DVD sale if you're that curious

Rating: 1/10 (24 June 2005)

Pitt and Jolie have great on screen presence and that is the only thing going for this B grade Saturday afternoon matinée flick. It is easy to understand their off screen relationship. The story though is puerile and the special effects, which should make any bad movie better, are just over the top and ridiculous. Without giving anything away, the Grimm Btothers write better fairy tales and the movie's weapon usage is straight out of an Erol Flynn WW2 epic. Each of the principals would need the strength and size of the Incredible Hulk to carry the ordnance expired in this epic. The car chase leaves you feeling embarrassed for the second unit director - Wilie E. Coyote would have felt at home with bad guys here trying to catch the heroes. In all, stay at home and save your money. It won't be long before it's on free to air TV, or you could buy the DVD cheaply when it appears at the remainder sale.
