First Movie I Ever Threw Away

Rating: 1/10 (9 September 2006)

Pitt has an overweight gain sense of who he is and what a roll in a major movie with ensemble casting and core reality has scripted for playing out.
Not one word nor line hits the mark of an honorable guy that deserves to have a story likably told about him.
Caring about Heinrich should be there, but is nowhere there. (Pitt's usual distancing from creating a lead that is wanted identified with.)
There's not even a sense of drill practice for good acting.
"Look at me!" and an amateurish slide on ice with a talentless turn around to see no one is watching, and so he falls down, while we the audience are stuck laboring with witnessing what makes no sense of the gamble of time and money spent to worry where we went wrong. Core scene of what the entire lackluster venture is about.
Timothy Hutton, Sean Penn, and some others true-to-form and understanding what Acting is could have nailed the roll into Classic territory potentially, and potently.
Pitt and his Pittiful distancing from real Acting integrity and honest understanding of Acting botches what again does not deserve to even be called a movie.

Roll.
Well rounded momentum that is moving in some direction even if it is backwards from where we begin to witness where it is to where heading.
Roll with the punches, or roll while punched, is still heading somewhere.
