Hollywood junk

Rating: 1/10 (24 June 2008)

This movie is absolutely dreadful! More proof that monkeys can't write scripts, and pop video directors can't direct - not exactly a recipe for good or engaging entertainment. Once were the days when Hollywood could produce cynical, intelligent thrillers. I'm thinking of great paranoia films like Three Days of the Condor and the Parallax View. Both were directed and written, not to mention acted, by people who had talent - something conspicuously absent in this film. Sadly, this is another example of cinema that only becomes thought provoking when you reflect on the kind of people that watch and enjoy seeing such stuff. Overall, just another fine example of America's self-implosion and cultural decline - truly awful!
