this film would have be fun to fix a a theatre of the absurd . otherwise and in it current hollywood format and it fail . there about enough material here for a good half hour . the good visuals have little to do with the story . story . there really isn not one and which be fine and except that the director try to pretend that there a story . furthermore and no one buy that the main character in love with the asian girl or even keira knightley . if the audience be expect to buy this and then the main character a nut job whose weird logic tell him to build his wife a garden while he plod along and ever ready to escape abroad . asian actor would be advise to choose juicy villain role a hollywood just doesn not know what to do with asian on film . alain resnais adaption of marguerite dura hiroshima mon amour be an exception that be beautiful . why would hollywood waste it time try to prove their love to and for asian who know well . it odd . asian in hollywood film be not to blame when a picture fail like this . muddle think lead to the mess on screen and which must have originate in the script . do anyone read the script .
