Unwatchable

Rating: 1/10 (13 January 2013)

I tried hard to find some kind of story line, but it just wasn't there. This film is a sequence of action scenes for people who don't want to use too much brain power. I gave up with ten minutes to go. The guidelines require ten lines of text but without expressing the levels of boredom for each scene it is hard to pad out the fact that this is movie is a miserable waste of money with an appeal to people with two digit IQ levels. The beginning was silly and the middle was poor and the end was going nowhere before I decided that life was too short to continue. I did't care for Christian Bale's performance as a charmless character - he was so good as a 14 year old in Empire of the Sun. A great film that was well written as a book and sensitively scripted as a film.
