I was really looking forward to this movie. I really and truly was;
I even wanted to see it in the theatre, but because of the not-so-shining reviews I decided to pass. And let me tell you- the critics were right. It was horrible, just horrible. But let me go over the [very few] positives- the two main stars were well cast (hottie Steven Strait-who has his shirt off the whole time- and the eternally, ethereal beauty Camilla Belle), the acting overall wasn't bad; pretty good score; and visually, it was stunning. Now for the negatives- poor story; poor dialogue; but what annoyed me the most was that the music was too loud to hear the narration (which was spoken in a rough, indistinct voice) and the narration told the entire story. Overall, I would not recommend it to anyone because I couldn't even explain what it's about; half of the time as you're watching you don't know what the hell is happening! I'm very disappointed because it had the potential to be very, very good and just let me down completely.
