As bad as you've heard, if not worse

Rating: 2/10 (1 October 2001)

It's funny--photograph a film well, do a good set design and images, hire good actors, but have nothing to say, no story to tell--and a lot of people will be fooled into thinking they've seen something worthwhile. Look at every positive or even vaguely positive review for this film.
Despite what anyone says, this is a long, annoying, silly film, with nothing to say. Yes, Sofia Coppola wasn't up to playing the lead role, but Al Pacino was just as uninteresting, due to his character's poor conception.
Hell, even the boys at the Bada Bing club in "The Sopranos" know that part III is crap. Discount thoroughly the deluded movie geeks that write otherwise.
