very disappointing

Rating: 5/10 (13 August 2006)

Just watched this last night.I had mixed expectations as it had received very good reviews and comments on here but on the other hand it is a film of a video game which in my opinion a half decent film has never come out of that equation.I found the film quite boring,special effects were nothing special,acting was wooden and the plot quite hard to follow.I have not played the games so maybe you need to be a fan of the games to enjoy this film.Sean Bean sleepwalks his way through the script,Radha Mitchells performance was adequate I suppose.I would like too see more of her work before passing judgement on her abilities. I think the younger viewers and video game players would like this sort of movie.
