Million dollar hotel
Keep away. Absolute self indulgent garbage. Pretentious tosh. The main character mumbles throught the film. "nutters" are all portrayed as people scratching their heads whilst staring at the floor with a pained expression all their other attributes are copied off crazys portrayed in other films (Brad Pitt-12 monkeys for example). It tries SO hard to be original and clever and fails on both counts. There are a couple of humorous lines in it but thats it. The DVD commentary is equally dull. Highlights include Bono pointing HIMSELF out when the credits roll. The interviews seem like an extension of the film. The cast, director and co writer (Bono) are SOO intense. They take the film SOO seriously. Mel Gibson says of his character, a cop "hes investigating a case and he doesnt ask any questions" this sentence is followed by an embarrased confused look. Probably thinking to himself "so why the hell did I agree to do the film?" Completely dreadful!!
