Title: Polanski misses on this dumb movie
Review: I watched this movie based on a Rotten Tomatoes 90% rating and a `5 Favorite Films' recommendation by director Brett Ratner. What I should have done is checked out Roger Ebert's 1976 review where he gave it 1 star out of 4. Roman Polanski of course, starred and directed this mess which I think was supposed to be a psychological thriller. Well, there are no thrills except when Polanski's character throws himself out a 3 story window, only to survive, climb back up the stairs and try it again. Unfortunately, that wasn't done until the end of the movie, but hey it is pretty funny, if unintended. After dragging out the NoDoz, I was curious to see if I had correctly figured this out, but along the way became so distracted by the various combinations of American/English accents and obvious dubs in what is clearly Paris, I lost interest. This movie is dumb, dumb, dumb.
Is the review positive or negative?
