Title: The Good, The Bad & The Pretentious
Product review: This is a movie that wastes talent like spent rounds. You can tell this is an MTV director on crossover. They reveal themselves in their fervor to generate a style with almost no concept of how to run the plot threads of a feature length narrative.The sad part is that the "style" that is being generated is trite and visually mundane. Time compression photography as a transition between scenes is a look that is as old as time. The other slick camera moves just cry out "poor man's Matrix."What's worse is that there are some decent actors in here in roles that they all should have been embarrassed to take. Christian Slater gets my vote for the most underused of the lot. Kevin Costner's lead is the Postman without a heart.Thank god more of the actors didn't try to step out of type, or this turkey would have sprouted megafeathers.
