2 Dimensional; No Spark

Rating: 3/10 (24 November 2007)

I have no idea how a cast of this caliber could fall so flat. I loved the first two. They were original, funny and engaging. In this one, the characters were two dimensional. They seemed to sleepwalk thru their lines. There did not seem to be the chemistry that was in the previous movies. The only actor to put out some effort was Pacino. Ellen Barken was fun to watch. The phermone patch was sooooo hokey. In the previous movies at least there wasn't anything that stood out as total BS the way this one did. This wasn't a SciFi movie. Were the writers so brain dead they couldn't find another way to get to Barkin? The entire heist plan seemed contrived. This just seemed to be another average Heist movie. Reindeer Games was far superior to this movie. I regret spending the $3 I paid to watch it. Wait for it to come on cable for free.
