There is so much dreck here, isn't there? <BR/><BR/>I actually liked Stuart Baird's editing. I felt his work was the only thing that kept me feeling quite as dissappointed as you with this movie.<BR/><BR/>Barberoux hit the nail on the head by saying the cast needed to be kept Andrew D.

I never felt that I got to know any of the characters. Even Forest Whitaker, who I usually like, was just a grinning tourist with hints of family problems. The rest of the cast had too little screen time to care about. The vantage point concept may had been a good ideaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2593801517891533127.post-43609555147695850222008-03-05T08:50:00.000-05:002008-03-05T08:50:00.000-05:00Reviewers rarely put the blame on the producers, w...Reviewers rarely put the blame on the producers, which in this case I totally agree. This script was taken out of the oven way too early, and the execution looks half-assed. Producers often get the glory awards time, but we always blame the writer or the most often the director when a film fails. Anyway, good review buddy. Nice to see you being tough finally (1 star!) ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
