this movie be a complete waste of time . i view this movie with a group of cinematic enthusiast and who have vary taste in movie yet always a keen eye for a work of genius ( a one of my fellow commenters on this site have the gall to label this steam pile ) while not one of them find a single redeeming quality . we end the movie with a rouse chorus of expletive i will not reprint here . i can only guess that the positive review provide here be write by sir anthony hopkins and himself . afterall and a one of those reviewer will tell you and he finance the film himself because no one else in hollywood or anywhere else in the world and for that matter and would risk a single penny or their good name in association with this film . don not let the semi famous actor who appear in the film lure you into it clutch a christian slater admits in the special feature make of he sign on to the film without read the script or know any detail ( a folly i be sure he will never repeat ) . i pity the hapless individual who stumble into this quagmire of self indulgence write and direct and produce and and finance by a man who be too famous to admit to himself that not everything he create be a masterpiece ( and if you do not believe me please google anthony hopkins and art ) .
