Bad on SO MANY levels!

Rating: 1/10 (2 April 2003)

Hollywood should be ashamed. You would think that our greatest national tradgedy might receive better treatment that this. In a single package, you have bad acting, terrible writing and revisionist history. One verrrrry long package I might add. When is someone going to stop Ben Afleck from making movies? His work has been downhill since "Chasing Amy". Of course, his supporting cast is no better. Kate Beckinsdale, Josh Harnett and Afleck do nothing with the material they are given. Yes, the writing is dreadful, but their performances do nothing more than make that even more obvious than it already is to the viewer. What was up with that "love triangle"? Did they hire and eighth grader to write that portion of the screenplay? This movie should have been forty minutes long. Let us ooh and aah over the explosions. The parts where the actors speak will only induce sleep or, more likely, actual physical pain.
