Dumb as a Box of Rocks

Rating: 3/10 (17 April 2011)

Let's all agree that Angelina Jolie is a beautiful woman. That doesn't give the movie a pass and her looks alone are not enough to carry it. In a film that runs about 100 minutes, probably 45 of them were car chases, foot chases and shoot 'em ups. I knew we were in for a rough ride when the first 40 minutes had a bunch of Keystone Kops trying to corral Jolie and it was all downhill from there. Given her limited dialogue, Jolie is not half bad, nor is her supporting cast; however, the movie made less and less sense as time went on and the finale (no spoiler here) did not lessen my feeling that I could have been doing something more productive with my time....like cleaning the litter box or emptying the dishwasher.
