Pretentious, unedited garbage with poor cameramatics

Rating: Null/10 (5 July 2009)

What can I say that hasn't been said already? The movie should have ended long before it did. I thought the movie was almost over when I was only and hour into it. I kept suppressing the urge to walk out, hopeful that the movie would redeem itself and that something remotely exciting would happen. Nothing happened. And when something that was intended to be exciting or interesting or climactic happened, it was impossible to care because of the way it was presented. The acting was wooden, the script long and weak, the direction underwhelming, the editing non-existent, but more than anything; extremely poor home-made video cinematography.
The cinematography was fuzzy, shaky, and completely out of focus. Even on dialog shots where the camera should have been flat, it wasn't; this made the scenes shaky and remote. This camera style reminded me of "Children of Men", except in "Children of Men" this camera style wasn't bizarrely and ineffectively overused and every other aspect of that movie was strong.
Basically, it was a weak movie that only received high ratings due to its all-star cast. I found myself looking at my cell phone for the time what seemed to be every half and hour but was actually only two minutes. That's how slow it was. A colossal waste of time and money.
