Actors are OK, no stunning interpretation but how can you ask something from them if the screenplay has been taken by scraps work… Expand

I had high hopes for this one, but it didn't even come close to meeting my lowest expectation. I enjoy films with intellectual content that you have to work for, but this movie doesn't have anything that even seems worth any effort at all.

I would go so far as to call it pseudo-intellectual and empty. Very disappointing.… Expand
