A wasted story with lethargic characters

Rating: 4/10 (20 May 2006)

i saw this film last night and was completely disappointed with it. its such a shame as the story is really good, its just everything else that isn't. my opinion is that the characters are just boring in this film, there isn't any fun. plus there is way too much talk going on. it also seems to be one of those films where everything seems to happen in one night. there isn't quite the sense of mystery as film like "raiders of the lost ark" had. stupid car chases which are completely impossible don't help this film as does a tired sounding soundtrack.
there just isn't any characters really that stick in my head. its all very talk talk and no action or fun whatsoever. overall i'd say this is a film thats worth seeing, just don't expect any classic.
