Dull portmanteau film

Rating: Null/10 (22 April 1999)

This was an overlong, dull and disappointing film with some hysterical acting. I wasn't the only one to laugh in the cinema when Jason Flemyng came gamboling along at the beginning of the British section and Greta Scacchi really should have known better than to get involved in this. The whole thing seems as if it had been put together by the film or tourist commissions of several countries and I think I'm right that counting a bit of Latin there were seven languages used in it. It does have a final few twists though and Samuel L. Jackson is always good value.
