Boredom reigns supreme

Rating: 1/10 (29 April 2007)

This movie has a pencil-thin plot -- man builds a case against big tobacco. Whoop. At most, this movie should have been a short documentary.
Strangely enough, it gets the super star, super director treatment. And chokes on its own boredom.
Someone said it needed an editor. That would have brought the length down...to about 5 minutes.
Far and away the most interesting thing about this film is that critics loved it. If that doesn't tell you something about the rancidity of the movie industry, nothing will.
I defy anyone to watch this movie the whole way through without yawning. I also defy any fan of this movie to watch it more than once.
Sleep inducing. 3 hours spent on a 5 minute news story. What a waste.
