Julia Roberts pretending to be Julia Roberts

Rating: 6/10 (6 June 2005)

From the onset, I knew the writing was a hack. Come on, a mysterious thief called 'the night fox'? what is this, some comic book? Apparently it is. The Thomas Crowne affair has already been done guys, oh yeah and that was made into a silly and pointless remake too wasn't it? And oh, let's not forget the imaginative and brilliant idea to write a scene where Julia Robert's character pretends to be Julia Roberts. I guess the intention was for it to be some kind of funny,inside joke where the audience was left out.
This movie plodded and meandered along, I was just waiting for it end. I could care less about zeta-jones' character, or her relationship with Brad Pitt's character. There was a staggering number of flashbacks, just a poor editing job in general. It was as if the editors were trying for a Memento or pulp Fiction kind of story line, and failed miserably. Not even in the same league as the original.
