Almost funny, almost romantic, almost good...
2 December 2004
One of those Action/ Adventure/ Romance/ Comedy movies... Entertaining, but it seems there is something lacking in this movie. It falls just short of being good, something is missing. Like, it is trying to be funny, and trying to be romantic, and trying to be hip, but it just does not quite make it.

Stylistically reminiscent of other films, like Pulp Fiction, and Snatch, but it does not come off nearly as well. It lacks energy, and does not engage sufficient interest.

I will stop short of saying that viewing this movie was a waste of time. It has its moments, but there is a lot of mediocrity to wade through between the few good bits.

It left me a bit disappointed, with unrealized potential, wishing it had been better, as it seems to me it could have been.
