2.5 hrs for a story that could be told in 30 minutes.

Rating: 1/10 (18 February 2008)

This movie is long and boring. Who cares if DDL is a good actor, it doesn't change the awful editing and story. I am just a regular guy who loved Juno and No Country for Old Men. I'm no reviewer, but I feel compelled to add a review here just to bring the rating down to something reasonable...like a 6/10. The beginning starts out interesting enough, but, like many other viewers, I was waiting for something to happen the entire movie. When it did, it was a let-down. In Juno I felt the same way, but when the bomb dropped in that movie, it was actually interesting. This was just a mess. The director may have done a good job, but he was dealing with a terrible story. I haven't read Oil, but I can bet its better than this. The only movie worse than this is Pirates of the Caribbean 3.
