I ended up getting a massive headache!

Rating: 1/10 (9 April 2007)

This Movie starts out on the wrong note! The worst researched script I've seen in a long time! The casting selection was horrible, even De Niro casting himself as an ailing four star general is a miss! Who would believe a General of that consecuential importance portrayed by an Italian gangster looking actor? He may be able to play a credible Justice Scalia in some other movie, some other day perhaps! The movie itself is slow, pointless, and tedious mess! The worst direction I've ever seen from an a-list actor turned director! Who is going to believe a twenty year old character played by femme fatale Angelina Jolie? What about this kid who played Damon's son? Was he suppose to be gay or what? Neither the screenplay nor the director bothered much to explain to the audience the logic behind of what unfolds on this drama turned disaster, you just have to take a leapt of faith and accept everything as a matter of fact! Joe Pesci appears in one scene not to add more depth to it or to add a new dimension, He only appears so The Character played by Damon Can say "All the foreigners are just visiting here" . Why was Damon's son in Africa hanging out with black girls? was he already working for the agency? Was he living there? Was he working for the UN? was he selling guns to Al Queda? No one knows! The truth is that no one really cared much about this particular guy in the first place! This Mess of a movie goes on forever! You keep glancing at your watch hoping for an end that never comes!The movie tries to take on too much and It doesn't really achieve anything it sets out to do! The biggest irony of all, the bonus features: loads of Deleted Scenes! Thats sickening! It will be awhile before i pay to see De Niro's face anywhere again!
