Stupid

Rating: 2/10 (19 March 2006)

This movie was so long, boring, and pointless. I slept right through the last half hour. I was looking forward to a visually pleasing, intellectually stimulating action movie. I was treated to an unending diatribe that couldn't keep track of its targets: Americans, the English, Big Government, the Nazis, groupthink, the media, the Church, drug companies, or the unsuspecting public. Or was it the vast worldwide conspiracy that controls them all?! Give me a break.
I am so tired of the Wachowski brothers going all Ayn Rand on us, using film to espouse their political beliefs. Morpheous never shut up, Neo never shut up, and now Mr. V never shut up. Get over yourselves! I gave this movie a rating of 2/10 for Stephen Rea's performance, which was simple, honest, and believable. Everything else sucked.
