Review

when the highlight of a film is seeing someone’s tits you know you’ve wasted your time. halle berry was good, but not fantastic. jodie foster was better in panic room and she didn’t even get nominated for an academy award. the movie really just failed to make a connection with me. i felt bad for one character and he died half way through the movie. everyone else was either dispicable or uninteresting. i’m not insensitive – this movie just didn’t have any life to it. it’s too bad too, because the director obviously has a fair amount of talent.
