Horrible acting, very stereotypical

Rating: 5/10 (15 April 2001)

Now, it's Brad Pitt, who's too busy looking at himself to truly "fit" his roles appropriately. I didn't expect much of this movie before I saw it and I was rather underwhelmed by the thin plot, stereotypical characters, and horrible acting. Why Pitt was chosen for the title role I don't understand, but he ruined the role AND the movie. I know that this story was supposed to have significant meaning, after all Tibet, where this movie was based in, has had turmoil with the Chinese for so long, but the filmmakers did a lousy job trying to put this story together and KEEP IT together.
