Very disappointing

Rating: 1/10 (12 September 2002)

I had been looking forward to seeing this movie for the longest time, now that I've finally got to see it, I can only say that while Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix provide us with great acting (as expected!!), the story is weak and mediocre at best, Rory Culkin does not have even 1% of his brothers' talent. The elements for a great movie are all there, they simply fail to have a sequence or to flow in a coherent manner and at times it goes way beyond unbelievable, I did end up thinking that Independence day was more believable than many parts of this movie. I don't recommend it but guess one has to see it to make up his or her own mind, specially in view of the many positive comments posted here.
