Mediocre

Rating: 5/10 (21 May 2010)

The entire film relies on a ridiculous first act turning point that seems a) inconsistent with the main character's personality and b) is something that 99% of people would not do because we would KNOW that is was too late to act anyway. So if your movie opens on a flawed premise the rest of it is dubious anyway.
There is no ending. The most pretentious among us can opine and preen about the TRUE GENIUS OF THE ENDING, but for people who see through b.s. we know that it's a joke.
To this day I cannot believe that some people continue to believe that this movie was better than "There Will Be Blood."
