Hit & Miss

Rating: 3/10 (6 April 2007)

It was a mediocre movie. There were parts that were excellent, but over all it was ordinary. And I believe that the director has got the castings completely wrong. You have Ewen McGregor (SCOTTISH) playing an American. Then Christian Bale & Jonathan Rhys Myers (AMERICAN) playing a British journalist & pop star respectively. It was so out of place. I would've preferred Ewen McGregor as lead, Jonathon Rhys Myers as Curt Wilde, and Christian Bale to not be in it at all.
Toni Collette wasn't at her best. And she was in the wrong role. To me, she doesn't have the body to play a hot, beautiful leading lady. I can't understand a pop star going for someone average looking, like Collette.
The music was try hard, the fashion not flamboyant enough, accents were terrible, and Ewen McGregor was nothing like the Iggy Pop-like character he played.
Very disappointing.
