Empty Eleven

Rating: Null/10 (12 December 2001)

Extremely flat film. Where was the character development? The "crew" comes together so fast without any real explanation of who they are. All the interaction between them is shallow and superficial. I believe this was done so that the director could spend an inordinate amount of time on the technical aspects of the heist, which was a waste of time. The original film at least understood that this was not the point. The Andy Garcia/Julia Roberts/George Clooney love triangle theme is forced at best. The ending didn't even try to match the surprise of the original, and left me wondering why I sat through 2 hours of this mess.
