horrible Carey performance

Rating: 7/10 (20 December 2008)

the movie itself is fantastic. but it is almost destroyed by Carey's wannabe acting. i am so glad the hype did not catch up to this one and grant him an Oscar nod. Carey's acting is so static and insincere it makes you almost sad a greater actor was not cast. all Jim does is "pretend" to be someone trapped in an unwitting television reality show. he does not act. he does not bring any emotion, any real emotion at least, to the screen. the movie itself is saved by a stellar cinematography job and super acting by ed Harris. the story is great, the camera work is great, the acting(other than Carey's is great). so overall its a very good film. just too bad it's star is so crap.
