Finish it. For god sakes finish the damn movie.

Rating: 4/10 (30 March 2007)

The movie starts with the phrase "Finish it" and you hear it plenty. It is so filled with flashbacks that it's actually hard to enjoy; tells approximately three stories which might or might not connect but are wrongfully edited or intertwined. Also there are about 5 scenes that appear many times in a 2 hour period that I just almost went berserk. I was tired when the movie started and it's almost impossible for me to sleep watching any film because I like it so much, yet the very ssssllllllloooooooowwwwww pace and lack of aaaaannnnnyyyyy action made me yawn and still does when I think of it and I nodded off several times. I was bored for more than half the duration. Of course there's a message but the way of telling it is not working, at least for me. The editing gets a dying 2 out of 10. Maybe they didn't have enough material to edit a full length product. The script gets a fantastic 4 out of 10 due to it's over complicated back and forth struggle, there are some clever lines and very few good twists. The directing is maybe OK if you can make it without the other two. But superb? No no no no. It's not even average. Waste of time. I would wait for the "super edited" version of 1 hour to watch it, if I hadn't seen it yet. Some guys have died of boredom watching "The extended version" forced by their wives. Beware of the oncoming DVD because: It's coming! Almost impossible to avoid! At 7.8 rate out of 10 (at the time of this writing) which to me it's just too much. The comments are generally close to 1 or 10 (That's excessive love or hate). Just before watching it I ran into acquaintances and two told me it was very good so my impression is that it will make quite a buck on the expense of half the audience. Will someone get an epiphany after watching this piece? Sure. Weak minds will enjoy it a lot. People who don't have a defined religion and know as much as the little pieces that are almost common knowledge of the 5 more extended religions on earth. Folks who believe a lotus position will make you fly (or your spirit for that matter). But don't worry, when I heard the last "Finish it" I was so glad this "masterpiece" was over and u2 will be.
