Title: Predictable. Overcooked. Brad can't carry it.
Review: A brilliant opening credit sequence, and downhill from there. Painfully obvious and predictable, with one or two pretty good jolts, to be fair. Morgan Freeman is his usual splendid self, opposite Brad Pitt who is his usual vapid self. What does an actor of Freeman's abilities think as he works with someone of Pitt's ineptness?Lots of fancy dark dank city cinematography and MTV editing to distract us from just how predictable the entire exercise is. You will notice how the police never turn on the lights when they enter a crime scene, presumably because flashlights look cooler, they have that NOIR look, you know? Cool, man.No, not really. Been here, seen it, moved on.
Is the review positive or negative?
