Save your money, rent the video

Rating: 1/10 (11 June 2001)

The bombing doesn't disappointment. The special effects are excellent, it's pretty exciting, well-staged, etc. That sequence lasts about 30 minutes. The other 2 and 1/2 hours which centers on love triangle between Affleck, Hartnett and Beckinsale is dull, totally ridiculous and quite difficult to sit through. Two young women sitting behind me were frequently doubled over with laughter. Though the characters frequently cry and laugh and kiss, I felt completely disconnected from them. And Affleck sports a terrible Southern (!) accent, unlike anything I've heard before. It's such a cliche-ridden mess. You'll be rolling your eyes and laughing out loud at scene after scene. Shame, really. It could have been great.
