Crowe is one of my favorite directors, but....

Rating: 6/10 (16 December 2001)

This film really didn't satisfy me. Yes, it is a very interesting premise (give credit to the original film) and there are several great scenes, like the empty NY or the nightclub, but I was never captured at any time throughout the film. It's kind of boring in a few stretches, and I couldn't help checking my watch several times or getting a little antsy at points. I don't think the film's message is as great and mindblowing as others perceive it to be (in fact I was really disappointed with the "quick wrap-up" at the end and found it sort of lame) and I don't think it could ever compare with Memento or whatever awesome films some other viewers have likened it to.
And yes, it has a great soundtrack, but it's too loud and awkwardly interjected into the movie...
