A great idea that doesn't know what to do with it

Rating: 6/10 (9 September 2002)

This has all the potential of a great film. It is a great idea with a good, interesting cast, not jam packed with big names.
The film starts well enough and looks beautiful. The filming of parts of Europe looks great and makes this a far more interesting film than your average.
BUT it loses the plot part way through the film. It has this great idea, starts the film in an interesting way but then doesn't really know how to progress the story and then finish it.
I walked out of the cinema feeling that I had seen a film which could have been really great but instead I was left feeling short changed. The great ending I expected just never surfaced.
Such a shame.
