What a mess!

Rating: 4/10 (14 April 2007)

The only reason I give this movie a four is due to the attention to detail from one period to another, other than that this film is an absolute mess. This film is overly confusing, and does not provide the viewer enough information to know what is really going on, or to care for that matter. Jolie's character is completely insignificant, aside from the fact that the character is strange from the beginning. Damon's character is completely boring. I directly attribute the problems of this film to the director Robert Deniro. For example there is a collage of scenes about 45 minutes into the film where the viewer is supposed to be absorbing what amounts to be a significant portion of the plot. Unfortunately in this ten minute dash we are exposed to at least 10 different parts of as many conversations, and we have no context in which to refer to, so frankly no one has any idea of what the hell is going on. I stopped caring after that, and it did not matter because nothing happened anyways.Very disappointing.
