One of the worst stories

Rating: 2/10 (22 September 2011)

The good: Actors did a splendid job. So did the director. Scenes were wonderfully filmed. In fact, the whole movie is a masterpiece when it comes to visuals. It kind of reminded me movies by Guy Ritchie. It is filmed in a similar manner. Also, I think this movie is great for teenagers. It contains nudity in some scenes, but I think that in the context this movie is presenting it, the whole message would be a good one for the kids. After all, they've seen nudity all over the internet. One little movie won't hurt their innocence, however it will build up an emotion inside which I think will help them renounce the wish to try drugs.
That's it. What about the movie itself? What about the story? The conflict? Well, I am afraid, there is NONE. The whole movie was extremely predictable, just like a teenage horror movie. It was incredibly hard not to know what was going to happen. A little drama then *sniff*. A bit more drama and again *sniff*. And the drama escalates as the *sniff* escalates. Which is all so obvious, that it became very boring to watch. I've read a few reviews, that this movie is about addictive dreams and stuff. Yeah, I guess it is. But all dreams are addictive. There's nothing special about this movie. All I saw was seriously weak people. Their weakness combined with their stupidity made me predict the ending right from the beginning. Of course not in details, but in general it happened like it should have happened. Actually there is no drama (in a good sense) here. Drama is when Al Pacino becomes the Godfather and he swears not to kill, while his men kill every opponent. That's drama. Nothing even close is seen here. My brain was corroding into jelly while watching this movie. It's pure nonsense. It's a world outside my world. One which I don't really wanna see in details. One which is boring, ugly, full of despair and stupidity. The whole movie was about this world. Nothing else.
I want my 2 hours back.
