Another Buddy Movie.....

Rating: Null/10 (1 July 2007)

Well after the disaster that was "Ocean's 12" I wasn't actually going to give this movie a chance, but after reading some positive reviews I decided to pay my money and take my chance. I wish I hadn't bothered. So many thing annoyed me about this movie-
1. George Clooney and Brad Pitt (Especially Brad Pitt!) Far far far too smug!!!
2. No Story, and I mean NO STORY, pointless almost, well except for the heist that is.
3. Al Pacino wasted, a very subdued performance from a great actor. Poor character development.
4. Too long.
5. Too smart a**ed, they had an OTT answer for EVERYTHING, and it started getting irritating after 10 min's of the movie.
6. SMUG............AGAIN..............!!!!
7. Actually will stop now,as listing the faults is boring me. Could go on and list most of the actors performances as "bad points" but won't bother.
The Good things about this movie-
1. Matt Damon, under used but really quite good when on screen.
2. Ellen Barkin, funny and a great character.
3.........No lets just stop at 2, can't think of anymore.
Overall I hated this movie, will give it 2 stars for the two "good" points.
Keep your money in your pocket and avoid this self obsessed, over indulgent mess.
