Over-rated Big Time

Rating: 3/10 (3 January 2002)

This movie is about a punk ex-con who is bitter about losing his girlfriend to someone more successful than himself.
I personally didn't care for anyone of the characters. Carl Reiner was the best of the lot. They were way too bland and because there were so many involved in the heist they didn't have enough time to develop the characters.
I expected more. There was hardly any action or suspense. Basically a dialogue movie. And the only dialogue was "are you in?" ZZZZZZZZZ. Did any of you think for one second the plan would fail? Personally I wished it did. Clooney's character was a punk. Get over it you are a loser ex-con and lost your girlfriend to someone who was more successful than you.
3000 Miles to Graceland was a similar movie that didn't get the positive reviews this movie got and was far more intense and action packed. The performances were better too. NO ONE can say that Clooney was better than Costner. NO ONE. This movie got great reviews because of two things: an excellent cast and Soderberg the director. In my opinion go rent 3000 Miles to Graceland if you can take a lot of violence and foul language (the only reason for poor reviews).
