Brave but ultimately poor

Rating: 1/10 (31 March 2006)

To present terrorism in this manner was brave considering the current political climate in America, where it may well have a strong impact on viewers. However to me, a Brit, the script of this film was very clumsy and full of clichés. This film attempts to be a dramatic, psychological and philosophical film but ends up a cheesy romance with awkward dialogue that attempts to explain some of the ideas behind the film. Furthermore, quoting Shakespeare and talking in alliteration seems to represent a completely clichéd view of the British. I came expecting something of the quality of the Matrix trilogy but left having seen something more along the lines of Notting Hill.
