This is a very poor film - very very poor indeed.

Rating: 1/10 (13 November 2008)

Wow I've not seen a film this bad for ages, well at least a couple of months. Fundementally the film is bad really on every level. Bad enough that I've decided to write a comment on it. Mark Wahlberg is practically on his own here with some truly appalling acting left right and centre of him and a production which stinks like a sewer. The love interest Zooey Deschanel remarkably appears to have a career!!???? which includes a main role in Tin Man. This girl is an APPALLING actress, truly very very very bad, I mean you've honestly gotta see her performance to believe it. But sadly she's not on her own with some really terrible support. An appallingly weak concept for a film, poorly rendered both in effects (ILM!) and in direction (the director of 6th sense I understand???) with what appears to be the most limited budget in Hollywood - but was it shot in the US? somehow I think not, it looks like it was shot down my road behind a hedge. There's nothing worse than a character describing a big event that we don't see, and that happens every five mins in this film. "Ohh there's a big visually interesting thing just happened, we can't afford to show it so I'll describe it!" So you get endless reams of extras and bit parters poorly describing events that happen off camera. Stay well away from this film, the makers do not deserve to be encouraged!
