Weak story lines and character development...

Rating: 5/10 (30 January 2013)

Well this was an interesting film...for the wrong reasons ! My wife and myself watched this film recently and though it promised much but the lack of understanding of the storyline and plot holes really made this a missed opportunity.
All too often we were confused by the vagueness of the storyline....which would have been great if it was due to a clever script that purposely kept you guessing so as to deliver a glorious conclusion towards the end. However, this was just not the case and pure frustration ensued.
Ironically, as we discussed the film we talked of lazy script writing which assumes that keeping people guessing and confused is a "good thing" when in reality it hides the fact that there is no substance. An excellent writer will keep you guessing before delivering understanding and a conclusion in a glorious climax.
Indeed the irony was that as we discussed the poor script we likened it to "Lost" and low and behold two days later we realised that the writer was indeed from "Lost" !!! This could have been and should have been an excellent film, but the opportunity was "Lost".....
