An average movie

Honestly, I wasn't sure what to expect from this flick but I was still eager to check it out. I mean, Lindsay Lohan's career has become pretty abysmal lately and this movie was the only one who seemed to have at least some potential. Since I started to talk about Lohan, I should add that you wonder why she was there in the first place. I mean, she only had 2 or 3 scenes, her performance was rather weak and it was rather unconvincing that a pretty girl like her would hang out with a creep like Chapman for no real reason. A part from that, the whole thing was rather misguided. I mean, right from the start, they tell you at the beginning that they won't give any details about his past or his background which was a big mistake. Seriously, if you don't develop this, what have you then to tell? Nothing much, I'm afraid. Indeed, you basically follow Chapman for a couple of days, doing basically nothing, except mumbling some crazy stuff about various subjects. What remains is a rather bewildering performance by Jared Leto. Indeed, he gained 30 kilos, apparently damaging his health in the process and while there was something quite spellbinding about his performance, you wonder if it was really worth it for such an empty movie. Anyway, to conclude, I guess my rating for this movie might be a little too generous but, somehow, I still think it is worth a look.

6/10
