An average movie

To be honest, I have to admit that I had never heard of this movie before but since it was starring the great Emma Thompson, I thought I should give it a try. Unfortunately, even though there was indeed an interesting cast involved (Emma Thompson, Alan Rickman, Carla Gugino, Simon Baker, Gil Bellows, Til Schweiger, Philip Baker Hall), I can say I really cared about the damned thing though. I mean, I was glad for Carla Gugino that she was able to play a lead part and she definitely looked terrific, as usual, but, to be honest, her acting wasn't nothing really mind-blowing, I'm afraid. Apparently, she has been in a long relationship with the director of this movie, Sebastian Gutierrez, and they would be keep on making many movies together after this one but none of them make many waves either. Anyway, coming back to our main feature, above all, I wasn't impressed by the plot which tried to emulate some kind of néo-noir crime story but I thought it was in general pretty weak and rather boring. Anyway, to conclude, even if I have seen worse movies, it was still pretty damned average and I don’t think it is really worth a look.
