The Critics Who Stare at a Bland Film.

Rating: 4/10 (13 November 2009)

You think a movie starring such talented actors like Jeff Bridges, Kevin Spacey, George Clooney, and Ewan McGregor, that it would be an entertaining film. But not the case here, these actors are just slumming it out. The story simply goes nowhere with it self, and it really falls apart towards the end, just when you feel the movie is gonna go to an interesting place, it simply doesn't. I don't think this movie is based on true story, I feel it was inspired off true events.
I'll give this a little credit, Jeff Bridges, George Clooney, and Ewan Mcgregor do shine a little bit, they seem to have wonderful chemistry. And make this film a little bit interesting. But Kevin Spacey I was really surprised, who is also good and memorable in anything he does, but in this film i felt he didn't shine at all, he was there in the moments and that was it. And at times when it tried to be funny, it really wasn't. This fails at comedy and drama.
