Tap the Brakes

Rating: Null/10 (9 October 2009)

Alright, I will concede the beautiful cinematography, dynamic acting, blah blah blah--art film as it may be, unfortunately, this piece was devoid of any concrete or substantial plot line. Again, I concede that the film in and of itself is quite elegant and beautiful, almost intoxicating, but overacting is a splendid way to describe the remainder of the picture. In fact, (give me a second here), I find myself needing time to recover from all the tears and emotions exhibited here...
OK, there--now, where and what is the resolution here? I would hope that other commenters would be able to look past all the "cinematic beauty" of this film and realize that props, sets, and CGI only go so far, and at the end, all one is left with is the acting and the story. I am a fan of the non-linear plot line motion picture, but only when "a plan comes together" (in the words of the great Hannibal Smith)--ONLY then do I love it. I gave the film a 5 for the acting (but let's face it, people are really captured by the names), and that may be stretching it. I know I should get some **** for quoting a member of the A-Team, but seriously, TAP THE BRAKES!!
