nonsense
19 May 2010
this film is utter tripe. boring beyond belief . totally failing to engage the audience with poor acting by the secondary parts, even the usually brilliant Peter Saarsgard is kept at bay and hence the film suffers. Instead we are plodding along with what seems like some 'plot' with the awfully boring and grumpy Tommy Lee Jones. john Goodman and his co-horts are all miscast and there are five or six very amateur scenes with Lee jones and what seems local actors.....very unprofessional.... the story is unbelievable and told in such a silly way it tires its best to be clever but seems more like Donnie Darko gone wrong. No Country for Old Men was a great movie but was held back in parts with the obsession with Tommy Lee jones character, Unfortunately this film seems like an extension of lee jones's character and how boring his play is.....dreadful....

could not believe what I was seeing . this film is utter thrash from start to finish . The premise and storyline could have saved it but the script and in particular the dialogue is so poor I had to turn it off. Crowe makes his scenes bearable but the young actress playing the infatuated teenage girl is toe-curling awful and she is not helped by dialogue and nonsensical ramblings that one would expect to see in a film made by a twelve year old. Boring. Badly Acted. Badly directed. Badly shot.....even Crowe at the start takes on the strangest of William H Macy like accents but looses it halfway through the scene and for the rest of the film!! what was that about!?
