Amazing trailer shame about the film

Rating: 1/10 (8 April 2005)

You know the trailer with that kick ass music in the background, yeah? Watch it just before you go and see this and you will be disappointed when you walk out. Trust me I was. The film does look great on screen and all the shots are framed in a comic book style, but (and its a J-lo sized butt) the acting was atrocious for the most part. The only good performances were from Mickey Rourke, Rosario Dawson and maybe Clive Owen. The cast was one of the best you'll see in one film but it was disappointing to see only three deliver. Actually one cast member who I failed to mention was Josh Hartnett who as actually my favourite character in the whole film, even though he was in it for about four minutes. The movie-going public will surely love this as they are for the most part idiots, as illustrated by the box office taking of crappy films like Are We There Yet. Just don't believe the hype this isn't the best film for years, it may be one of the most original and stylish, it is just a very well made crappy film. If that makes sense.
