Obnoxiously overrated

Rating: 2/10 (1 January 2009)

Every now and then I stumble across a highly rated movie which, after watching, happens to be a bit below expectations. This is something that I find completely normal, considering watchers' different taste for movies.
This time, however, the disappointment was so huge that I feel the urge to express it in form of a comment.
Not going too deep into details, let me just confirm that this movie is just pointless and boring, despite fine performances and cinematography. The story is incoherent and uninteresting and is the most flawed part of the whole movie.
I don't know what kind of message does the film try to convey. Some of the reviewers will try to convince you that there is a deeper meaning of it but believe me, there is none.
Avoid like the plague!
