What can I say but that I agree with J.C., this one was bad. Generally, Robert Downey, Jr. is a good actor. He was very good in "Restoration" and was funny in "Two Girls and A Guy." But in this movie he was terrible, he didn't even fake the German accent well. Stephan Bladwin was also in this film. I enjoyed his performance in "The Usual Suspects" and liked him in "Fled". But in this movie, he was just no good. Perhaps if the screenplay was even close to decent this movie could have been o.k., but that's really pushing it. Badly acted, badly written, and badly directed. This movie violated most of the laws of movie making.
