People must be addicted to suck in large doses

Rating: 1/10 (31 March 2006)

I was extremely excited to see this film. I am a huge fan of the Matrix films as well as a fan of Bound and I can honestly deal with Assassins. However, this current Wachowski brothers attempt is awful. It showcases the Wachowski's pure inability to write believable characters. The tawdry language of the film was pitiful. If vocabulary alone=solid characters then this film is rock solid. However, this film seems to use language in way that says "Hey look at me, I used the thesaurus an awful lot during the making of this film, don't you think I'm special and oh so smart now?"
I keep hearing everybody raving about this film. Like the concepts are so "amazing and mind blowing", truly expressing the social concerns of our time. This movie is like an 8th grader telling you what politics and society are all about.
The cinematography is totally masturbatory. Atrocious slow-mo, pathetic behind the water- droplet zooms. This movie is a visual jerk off without the climax. I'm totally fine with indulgent film making, I really enjoy P.T. Anderson a lot, but this, this is terrible!
If you are one of those people that actually feels this film hits a homerun socially it probably proves that you are very imperceptive and you probably think that Ryan Reynolds is "totally witty".
And to finish off, if you actually enjoy watching an action movie, do not even bother with this tripe, because this film doesn't hit a single sweet spot in the name of action.
