Review title: Boring and stupid.....what a waste of talent!
Product review: The only thing to recommend about this film is the "director's commentary" in the extras section - where the director "pontificates" about how "hard" movies are to make and to be "releasable" - which the irony is - this film is so awful it should have been shelved. Gone are Syndey's good days as a viable filmmaker (Kubrick he's not)! The casting is terrible (absolutely no chemistry between Kidman and Penn) and the screenplay is completely inane and impossible to follow. This is definitely one for the Mystery 3000 boys! Everyone collected their checks on this one - zero craft - zero film!
