Like a Warhead candy. Horrible on the outside, yummy on the inside.

Rating: 6/10 (14 July 2002)

Don't get me wrong. I like the movie, but it isn't stellar. The 7.5 rating it does get is rather silly. Basically means alot of people are giving it a ten. Which it doesn't deserve. Sure the star power is excellent, but there isn't alot of back story on it. Just before the robbery the story almost falls off the earth. It's like it was okay for awhile and then it got really weak and boom kewl. And it also has a confusing ending.
Then of course you've got that nimrod Julia Roberts who doesn't act. She's only been good in one movie (Michael Collins) This girl doesn't have any raw talent. She basically goes thru the motions. I've tried really hard to give here the benefit of the doubt here, but really... after watching The Mexican (her worst acting so far) I see little improvement.

SPOILER??
She has a hint of a chance up in the bedroom watching her boyfriend on the tv, but that's just about it. Pretty bad casting there. Everyone else is pretty good. Although for the most part Matt Damon is wandering about without a lead.
So if your looking for a good picture... this could be it. But it ain't gold.
6/10
