Title: Bad wannabe noir film......
Review: My boyfriend and I attempted to watch this really bad attempt of a noir film last night, and we were so bored and disinterested that we turned it off halfway thorugh. Within the first fifteen monutes of the film I sat there trying to figure out what exactly was wrong with this film. I came up with the following:-Bad acting. Josh Harnett is basically just a pretty face because the guy has almost no emotion at all. Plus, the guy was too young for the role. It made me grimace. All the other actors were okay. They were directed badly so it's not their fault they were in a bad movie.-Bad screenplay. The storyline made no sense at all. I was paying close attention to the plot and I couldn't quite get what was going on. The written dialogue was just plain bad.All in all this was a really bad film. Avoid it. If De Palma wants to take another stab at a noir film he ought to at least have a decent screenplay the next time around.
Is the review positive or negative?
