Pitt was excellent, Wolfgang was not

Rating: 8/10 (28 May 2004)

This movie was not about the acting, because they all did a remarkable job in delivering lines of dialogue that were laughable. But it was Wolfgang Peterson's direction that almost made this movie a flop. Plus his choice of music, until the end, was wrong and made the movie seem like it was rivaling 'The Hulk' (probably the last thing Eric Bana wants). Most of the shots were nicely executed and the action sequences were very well done. It was only a few elements that were questionable, but they weren't necessarily dominant in the movie and they were decisions made by people other than the actors. So if you want to see them in this film, do so, but don't expect it to be a brilliant film.
