Nothing you haven't seen about 1000x before. Edward Norton is laughable. Paul Giammati is, as always, a powerhouse performer- he alone saves this movie from being a total joke. (Jessica Biel is also very good, but her role is so stupid you can't really connect.) Oh, and I forgot Rufus Sewell. Too bad. My guess is a chick-flik trying to attract a male audience but failing pretty badly.
If you like this sort of superman-mastermind genre, see The Usual Suspects. If you want a good, fun fantasy movie, try The Princess Bride. My advice? Only see this movie under one of 2 circumstances: -It's your girlfriend's turn at picking the movie. -You haven't had a really good nap the entire day.
