the last minute be an abysmal film . i have see some rather hideous film in my life and but frankly this one qualify a one of the all time bad and particularly in light of the immense talent of writer and director stephen norrington and an otherwise fine cast and and some incredibly gifted technical people such a the editor and the cinematographer . mind you and the production value be top notch a be the performance by a terrific cast . nevertheless and this pretentious as well a cynical commentary on fame and it fleeting quality for some unfortunate folk rank at the bottom of the barrel . i sit through this ambitious film in it entirety because some very dear and close friend of mine loan me the dvd and i make a commitment to them to watch it . furthermore and i have enjoy norrington other film represent blade and the league of extraordinary gentleman and and death machine . blade be a masterpiece and and i truly love the league of extraordinary gentleman . even death machine surpass this depressing drivel . i can understand why this film do not receive a general mainstream release in the united state . generally and i love all thing british and but this dreadful film prove to be an exception to the rule . i do not even want to recount the plot or it place in the context of film history a i usually do in my other imdb review . yuck . yuck . yuck . i look forward to future norrington film and and i envy anybody who can find anything remotely redeem about this balderdash .
