What were they thinking?
I have just viewed this film and, as usual went online to see others comments. This is one of the first times that I have ever felt compelled to comment myself...I am mad at the actors, the director and the writer. One sigh of relief came when I saw that the writer has not written anything since that has made it to the screen.
I sat stunned for most of the film. The dialogue was so trite that if one more person asked Kate Beckinsale's character "how are you?" I was going to scream. In one scene they actually cut from Gary Oldman's character asking her the question and went to another scene in which he asked her the exact same question again!
It's a shame. I was looking forward to this film when I saw the cast line up. I can only hope and assume that everyone involved in the film was sufficiently embarrassed and upset by the finished product. A huge waste of talent.
(Potential spoiler) In one scene, you can actually see Kate Beckinsale stepping over Gary Oldman's legs that are not supposed to be there.
Enough. Really bad and, stealing the title from John Water's newest film (actually if he would have made this film, it would have been interesting)- it's a dirty shame.
