give the history of the director of this movie and it be hard to believe that this be such a painfully bad movie to sit through . i be at the european premiere last night and one of the executive producer be there . he be yet to see the movie and and boy and be he in for a surprise . i have not read the book that this be base upon and nor do i know if it highly rat or appreciated and but i have read captain correlli mandolin and give how poorly that be adapt for screen and how bad this movie be and i can only presume that something similar have happen here . the act wasn not bad albeit that there be a couple too many raise eyebrow from farrell . honestly and i can not believe how little i care for any character in this movie . situation play out on the screen in an empty sequence of nothingness . donald sutherland part comprise a few scene where he open a door and say something and close it again . i keep look at my watch when i wasn not cringe at the dialogue on the screen . i have never walk out on a movie but i be tempt to start during this . i give this movie a score of 2 for reason which seem horrendously shallow to me but these be the best thing that i can say about this movie . the first be that i really enjoy the all too short earthquake scene and the second be that salma hayek get naked and look beautiful . i can say little else positive about this movie . don not ask the dust anything and it can not talk .
