A real flop !

Rating: 1/10 (14 January 2005)

This movie was too bad to merit any other comments, except to say that some good talent was put to poor use. However, since I am obligated to submit 10 lines, I will attempt to point out specifics. It seemed to me that the movie was trying too hard to make an unworkable project work. Perhaps if a director of the caliber of Ron Howard or Clint Eastwood had undertaken the task, it might have succeeded. I found the portrayals to be strained and unconvincing. It seemed that it was too obvious that the performers were acting - as if they were just sleepwalking through their parts. As far as the writing, actors probably need to believe in a project to offer up an inspired performance. I got the feeling that the actors felt just as I about this vehicle.
