No Awards for this Worthless Film

Rating: 1/10 (9 February 2008)

This movie had so much potential when I read all the rave reviews and saw an intriguing trailer. Then I wondered why it took so long for NCFOM to make it to my local theater and I thought, hey, it could be like CRASH--that movie had never played locally and I was surprised to find that it was released on DVD just before the academy awards were shown, so quite possibly, NCFOM could have just slipped through the cracks--just like CRASH. I was wrong. This movie should have been burned in a raging fire. What a waste of time this turned out to be. There was no compelling background about the protagonist or the antagonist.
A lot of hype over one of the worst movies ever nominated for an award. I kept waiting for the story to unfold and to achieve a raging climax, then all of a sudden it was over and there was no money shot, no ending, no nothing--just some trivial blubbering dialog that had nothing to do with the story I thought I was watching.
It turned out that the characters that were at odds with each other through the whole movie were not the characters who the story was about.
This was definitely the worst movie that I watched to the end without yawning or falling asleep. The acting was good enough to keep me watching, but the ending had me wishing I hadn't spent money on this tripe.
