You ordered steak but you got tofu...

Rating: 2/10 (25 April 2012)

This vanity piece from Di Caprio and what's his name is rubbish.
The initial OTT score on the boat should sound alarm bells. And it does. But not for the right reasons. I thought this was going to be an ordinary US Marshal movie. Instead we get interminable flashback after flashback. And what's worse? They're not even flashbacks per se.
Di Caprio can't be said to struggle with his on screen emotions, he's only got one. And frankly he just needs a good pair of contact lenses. That puzzled "I can't make this out" look wears very thin after an hour or so.
Bumbling and stumbling to the inevitable and oh so predictable conclusion leaves the viewer with a remarkably intense feeling of loss. The loss of more than two hours of their precious life.
On more mundane matters. Why does a lighthouse on a rock in the sea need a fence? Surely the sea and the single, very thick door are security enough? Sure, amateurs will analyze this travesty to death, but really this movie is as thin as buttermilk but substantially more annoying.
