Title: Don't Waste Your Time
Review: This movie was perhaps the biggest disappointment of last year. It could have been the riveting, shocking drama that was promised. Instead, it quickly beomes hokey, second-rate, easily predicatble tripe that is so obsessed with its own attempts at being clever that a decent script was forgotten somewhere.It wants desperately to be smart and shocking, but it is anything but. Anyone paying any bit of attention can guess the ending within the first half an hour. (Every one of the five people I watched it with did.) The only areas where this movie succeeds is in making all death penalty abolitionists look like a bunch of nutbags, and all women look like either devious and conniving jezebels or helpless and clueless morons who need a man to guide them every step of the way. Anyone against the death penalty or with feminist leanings will be offended, as will anyone who knows a good movie when they see it.
Is the review positive or negative?
