Horrifyingly awful

Rating: 2/10 (11 January 2012)

I've logged onto IMDb for the first time in a long while to put this review up; so the film "moved" me but not in a good way !
With the combination of cast and source material, I thought this film would be excellent. I'm in my 40s so more than happy to watch something that isn't riddled with CGI and has scenes lasting longer than 5 seconds...
...however, this was like watching some existentialist French movie from the 60s. Far, far, far too many scenes that drag on with sparse (if any) dialogue. Once you've seen Oldman looking pensive once, you've seen it a thousand times.
The final scene set to music was an unbelievably poor way of finishing the story.
Incomprehensible, pretentious crap. 2 stars for the evocation of the 1970s - no stars for the director / producer who managed with the materials at hand to create an absolute stinker.
