Review title: This one was a dud ...
Product review: I'm glad I rented this first. I had some fairly high expectations going into it. Edward Norton has proved his acting talent in films like American History X, Fight Club, and Primal Fear. This movie, however, doesn't belong in the same class. It borrows heavily from classics like Taxi Driver, Five Easy Pieces, and Badlands (three of my favorite films) but doesn't have anywhere near their success. The movie just didn't add up to much. The dynamics are missing. The cause and effect relationships are weak. The dialogue is mundane. Everything is straightforward. Characters aren't revealed the way they should be through action and dialogue. It seems to me the script/writing is mostly to blame.
