No movie for me to see again

Rating: 4/10 (5 April 2008)

I rated this one 4/10 only due to the ending. For most of the movie, I was absorbed and curious as to where it was going, and what some of the characters were going to amount to.
In the final scene, I found myself drifting off during Tommy Lee Jones' monologue about his dreams. There is nothing more boring than to hear another person talk about a dream they had. Then, cut to black. I can't remember the last time a movie really ticked me off -- maybe Matrix 3.
Some of the characters were downright cartoony. I don't mean the ones like the desk clerk or that cashier -- they were real in their sort of way. The mother was something straight out of The Golden Girls and her act took me right out of the movie.
I like movies where sometimes things are ambiguous, and might require a second viewing to catch what you missed the first time. But since this one has no point, I see no point in ever seeing it again.
