Utterly Awful

Rating: 1/10 (28 February 2007)

I'd like to give this film a 1. It's that bad. It's overly long, incredibly bleak, dark and miserable. I can't see how American audiences even managed to sit through it, I thought they'd be walking out on it in droves. not just for the length of the film, for the amount of attention it requires to stick with it.
Based on a true story Will Smith plays a salesman who decides to train to become a stockbroker. We follows the lows and even lowers of his life. the plot isn't very interesting because it's pretty obvious there's got to be a happy ending at the end of all this morose bleakness.
Avoid it. It's dire and miserable and far too long for it's own good.
