visually interesting and but fall flat in the originality department . this tedious excercise in technique wear thin after the opening battle . jude law have the charisma of burnt toast and but in his defense this film contain some of the bad dialogue i have ever see on the big screen . in fact the script be so poor that it keep take you out of the film and and have me think about work and bill and my dog and etc . there be many moment that scream bluescreen . paltrow be as wooden a they get . this could of be save by snappy film noir dialogue or over the top camp . my only complaint on the technique be that black and white film ( sorry and computer ) would of helped because it look like turner colorize black and white . just a big dull cliché mess . i would rather break my femur than sit through this endurance test again .
