Good Acting, Bad Directing

Rating: 5/10 (24 April 2009)

The only good thing going for this movie was the actors it contained. The friendship between the two was not believable, the exaggerated Hollywood effects were unneeded, and the directing completely sidetracked from the concept itself. Moreover, the previews were ABSOLUTELY different than what was shown. I was EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED.
On a decent note, Jamie Fox's acting is as usual, amazing. He was absolutely right for the role, and portrayed it to the best abilities I think anyone could have done. Robert Downey Junior was OK.
NPR was absolutely correct with their review this morning, and I did not want to believe it. Shame on me for spending my money.
