Ouch! The Mark Wahlberg's acting is hurting my head!

Rating: 3/10 (11 June 2003)

Sure, no special effects were used and every stunt was real, but couldn't they have used some better computer technology on the actors. I assumed people like Mark Wahlberg, Charlise Thieron and Ed Norton were in this movie, but they looked like something ripped out of `Simone.' Has Pixar finally replaced the human actor? It sure as hell felt like it with this film, as everyone involved went through their scenes with tongue-in-cheek dialogue and virtually expressionless looks of pain on their faces. Norton had a reason for blowing off this movie due to a contractual obligation, but what was everyone else's excuse. When Mos Def is your most sincere and most likable character, what does that tell you? Send this one to WGN and TBS, for I'm pretty sure they will showing this film ad nauseum sometime soon.
