Shouts of 'Refund' at the Video Shop...

Rating: 1/10 (19 June 2009)

Couldn't watch it to the end. Brad's acting skill seems to be growing even weaker as he ages (how could that be?) and Kate Blanchett was a big mistake for that Oscar and should have them revoked for being in this movie. Poor Brad- he just doesn't get it does he? I can just imagine the post Oscar night disbelief at his house for not scoring the Best Actor award as it feels throughout the film like that's what he was subconsciously expecting when you hear his voice over and notice how dead boring the story is. Maybe they thought, 'Don't be mistaken... all great Art is dead boring.' Perhaps it picked up in the last hour and became a top notch well acted, scripted and thought out masterpiece of modern cinema but, I wasn't prepared to risk that hour's sleep to find out and neither should you. Minus three stars.
