old hat-trick

Rating: 3/10 (24 June 2014)

It must have been one of Dick's off days when he dreamt this up.A religious parable and a plot with more holes than Blackburn,Lancashire. The whole thing seemed to be reliant on a hatwearer showing human emotions.He falls asleep;he lends our hero his hat! However the leading couple in the film give strong performances.Blunt is a good actress and has charisma.She's not the usual x-ray lead and can carry a bad film,even the cringy dancing section.Matt Damon too,is solid.Stamp's character should have been more menacing and wasn't and so they bought in the man from Madmen the go-to guy for hat wearing roles.
I was intrigued as to how they would resolve this pile of baloney but unfortunately a man in a hat determined that my fate line went directly to the pub instead.
