A disappointing movie

When I first heard about this flick, I was rather excited since I really loved 'Sin City' but later on I heard all the lukewarm critics so I wasn't dying anymore to watch it but still, I thought I should give it a shot. And indeed, the end result was really disappointing. I mean, sure, the movie had some rather visually impressive sequences but then, some other scenes just looked downright embarassing and ridiculous. The story was also really weak, it was nothing original whatsoever and the dialogues were just laughable throughout the whole thing. On the positive side, the cast was pretty good, except for Gabriel Macht and Paz Vega. Indeed, Gabriel Macht didn't have the charisma to pull this off and he gave a rather poor performance. And why on Earth did they pick a Spanish actress to portray a French character?!? Vega didn't look or sound French at all. Anyway, it is quite obvious that they wanted to get the same success they had with 'Sin City' but it didn't really work out, I'm afraid. To conclude, it's a pity because the whole thing really had some potential and even though it was not a total disaster, it was still a major failure so I don't think it is really worth a look.
