despite the all star cast and this attempt at epic fails . it come across a a set of flat cartoon stereotype string together by an all too and too clever social commentary . it a if with every bit of dialogue and introduction to a new character the writer peek out and say isn not that clever . be i not smart . isn not that bite social commentary . and and sadly and the answer be always ummmm . no . weary self absorb stuff that be more like soap opera ( in the bad sense of the term ) than a movie . and an obvious attempt at television immortality . thankfully and it die young . empire fall fall flat .
