The Unbelievables

Rating: 2/10 (2 August 2005)

I can't believe how this is rated so high. It's laughably bad. The soundtrack composed for the film is inappropriate and clunky. The dialogue is forced and corny. The acting, minus De Niro, is atrocious. My brother and I laughed at almost everything that came out of Connery's and Costner's mouths. We couldn't believe Connery was even nominated for an award. It has the feel of a play/TV/B-movie/melodrama. It's unrealistic and you don't care for any of the characters. There is an interesting gunfight and opera scene. The best part about this movie is the trailer, which is misleading and makes it look like a great film. I chose this over Goodfellas, Reservoir Dogs, Scarface (which I don't think I'll be checking out now), and Casino. Bleh.
