left me numb...

Rating: 1/10 (19 October 2006)

I came away from this film feeling very confused and numb.I thought the acting was quite good, Dicaprio, Walhberg, Damon, and Nicholson (although a bit over the top)but what is the point of a movie that is all smart ass talk (appears no one respects anyone else)and blood and guts. The female actress was added I'm sure just to give us a break from all the testosterone flowing from foul mouth males and she was rather weak and pointless. One scene that really sickened me was Jack in the restaurant scene with his hands and shirt covered in blood...what was he doing? Breaking in a new crew or butchering a pig ? My husband thought the movie too long and and I sometimes felt that the director was just off camera saying..."lights, camera ,action", especially the scene on the roof top near the end of the picture with Dicaprio and Damon.It looked too staged as if Dicaprio was looking for direction. The blood bath on the elevator was horrible mainly because some of the audience (20 in total) started to laugh and because a second mole was introduced and quickly dispensed. What??? But the last frame(with the you know what)was laughable So did we like it? Well the hype was there so we caved in and spent $17.40 (CND)but it wasn't what we expected.My husband wondered if it was a waste of 2 long hours and I'm still so numb I'll have to get back to him with an answer.
