Laughably Bad

Rating: Null/10 (25 May 2006)

By the close it became a kind of pompous joke, a two-hour equivalent of one of Jack Handey's Deep Thoughts. "If I'm not me, who am I?" "How deep are the sins of man?" How drunk were the writers when they came up with the insipid dialogue in this script? There's no way the book could've been this bad.
It was really disappointing. It's overtly dramatic and tries to play on sympathies that they just don't set up. I find it very hard to believe that any intelligent critic truly liked this film. Character driven? That is the most overused term, thrown around by those who don't know any better. If a character strings together more then four coherent lines people love to label the movie as "Character driven." The fact is, the characters aren't developed during this film. Sure, they are scarred but the movie is presented in such a pathetic fashion that you just want to cringe.
