Stinkburger of a film

Rating: 1/10 (19 June 2006)

Not since Manos: The Hands of Fate have I seen a movie this bad.
Prentious and boring. After the opening credits, it is all downhill after that and you are in for a long hard ride.
Movie couldn't decided if it wanted to be an action movie, philosophical discussion or prison movie, so it is schizophrenic almost to the point of being incomprehensible.
Characters were two dimensional. George Lucas wishes he could make characters that flat. No emotional pull towards the characters. Natalie Portman needs to go to acting school (please take Ben Afflec as well) or do some live stage work with Shakespeare. Her acting and English accent were atrocious.
Not even the presence of Hugo Weaving could save this stink-burger, his talents were wasted in this role.
Next time just give Roger Corman 1/25th of the budget and you would get the same film.
