Completely and utterly hopelessly awful

Rating: 1/10 (30 March 2008)

This film was the worst I have ever had to sit through. First of all, the soundtrack was not only confusing, full of weird effects that did not make sense for the scene they were paired with, but also it was just plain bad. It sounded more like someone attacking a rock with a pick axe rather than a movie soundtrack.
In addition to this, the storyline (if there was one) made absolutely no sense. It was a simple polemic. There was no noticeable development of characters within the story, and no plot development throughout the entire 3 hours of this unbearable torture. The only reason i didn't walk out of this is because the cinema cost me $15 and why should i waste money through not watching what i've paid to see?
The only saving grace of the entire movie was the simply brilliant acting of Daniel Day Lewis, who has consistently been in some absolutely fabulous movies (Gangs of New York for one).
So in summary? Not worth renting, not worth buying, not worth watching. Hell, I don't even know why they bothered making it in the first place. My conclusion: Don't bother, it's simply not worth it.
