Meh

Rating: 7/10 (13 August 2011)

The film is beautifully shot and directed with the shots perfectly placed. The rowing sequence is gorgeous and deserves some recognition. The acting is also quite good, Jesse does a brilliant job of being a hard to love genius but idiotic at the same time as his business skills are awful. However, the dialogue is rushed and badly written. The opening scene is extremely confusing and could be an instant turn off. The story is also very drawn out and the back and forth swap from the original story and the later on questioning. Brenda Song is probably the most annoying actress to have either walked the earth and every scene with her in was insanely cringe-worthy and almost made me laugh it was so awful. All in all, a quite tedious drawn out annoying film with a brilliant director of photography.
