warning!

Elliot (Nick Nolte) disappears and warns of a danger, which soon enough seems to be linked to possible attacks on the US soil. (Today this "danger" is known as September 11.) A friend of Elliot's (Juliette Binoche), Elliot's estranged daughter and his wife's son do their best to avoid an odd assassin (John Turturro), and do as they are told in order to come to a final meeting with Elliot, who eventually tell them what is going on and why he is being chased.

The story was promising, although certainly very unoriginal. Unfortunately the movie is boring, way too slow, and the dialogue is one of the worst ever. Very bad script with ridiculous characters.
The actors look like they're reading parts, not playing any roles. Turturro's character was a joke. A poet assassin??? Give me a break.
The director is obviously a dilettante and his out-of-focus shots really got on my nerves.
And this is a thriller??? I think not. It's not even a comedy, or a drama. It's truly a third-rate crappy motion picture, that shouldn't have been made.

On imdb, some people mentioned that this was similar to Pulp Fiction. Seriously, I fail to see the resemblance. In any area.

It's too bad I didn't bother researching the movie before renting it, I certainly would have stayed far away from it, but the dvd cover and resume made it look interesting - it wasn't in the least bit!

My opinion: Don't bother either in time nor money with this piece of crap.
