Utter Failure of a Film

Rating: 1/10 (2 June 2012)

"there are only lifeboats for half the people... yea the better half".
The segregation, oppression, and unenlightened separation of the privileged few from the unkempt, unwashed masses is the "dramatic" thread that seems to be the "soul" of this bloated, overwritten, orally deficient melodrama. It is completely counterpointed by the very last scene. An antithesis of the socially conscious concern of the film makers.
It is morally reprehensible, irresponsible, incomprehensible, and downright selfish. One wonders how many underprivileged children with empty bellies and deplorable living conditions could have been saved by that mega-million dollar necklace. All for a cheap sentimental tug.
Some interesting special effects, attractive people, and unintentional humor are not enough to redeem this unforgivable, utter failure of a film that can only be subjugated to the lower decks of American Cinema.
