This has to be the most boring movie I've seen in 5 years. No real suspense whatsoever, tin can acting from Naomi Watts, and Clive Owen, an actor I hold in high esteem, once again having his talent thrown away in a role that that doesn't give him a whole lot to do. The only part that was remarkably cool was the shootout at the Guggenhiem, which happens so far into the movie I'm actually suprised I made it all the way to it. Aside from that, expect a bunch of boring crap about banks, and a slew of wannabe X-Files mythology figures getting capped predicatably as they are about to give up their big information. What a waste of 2 hours.

Watched it on Wednesday with my pops. I fell asleep twice. Woke up when the gunshots started going off at the end. Guess that shows you how I feel about it.

I agree it was very boring.
The gun fight wasn't too bad though.

I hate to say it, but I think Clive may have peaked with the BMW Films. (Sin City excluded)

God that movie was equally as horrible, but atleast it didn't bore you to death. When you expect a movie to be cheesy and stupid going and, and coming out thinking, wow, that was really retardedly cheesy (in a bad way)and over the top, that is pretty bad.

W3rd. Even Children Of Men pretty much sucked, and I figured I would love that flick.

Used to promote BMWs in the late 90s using elaborate car chase sequences and all starring Clive Owen with short story lines. Most only a few minutes long. It is where he got his start. I've posted a few in the picture forum a year or two back if you want to do a search.

I thought the same thing about that movie, but I loved it. :o

I remember those now. BTW, I'm taking this oportunity to remind you that we need a GTG for Inglorious Basterds, and even though I appointed Blake ringleader via text, I'm appointing you co-ringleader. You guys figure out where you want to watch it. If anything, we can watch it at the midnight preview down here. This is a strange enough town to make the destination of a roadtrip.

Jodi and I also have our anniversary that weekend. We'll probably still go see if but I don't want any boardmembers around when she finds her anniversary suprise at the bottom of the popcorn bowl. Who says romance is dead?
