help! I've lost the plot

Rating: 3/10 (2 December 2004)

The worst thing about this movie was how the links between various areas of the plot were incomplete. The movie made a weak effort to bring the viewer along its path. There were too many "a-ha!" moments that came without much effort...as in, character looks puzzled at the historic tangle of clues before him. Then, 1.3 seconds later, it all makes sense (to the character, not to us). The acting was not amazing either, but with this material, it's understandable. The exception was the guy who played Riley, who I thought was pretty good. However, this could not save the rest of the film.
