Just came back from spending an hour and a half in a movie theater wishing I had stayed at home.
The plot is so-so and full of loopholes, the acting is surprisingly lame (I really like Carla Gugino, but here she gives her weakest performance to date), but what really irritates me is the camera-work and editing.
In the style of all to many movies today, the camera is never still. I mean never. The camera-work is supposed to mimic the authenticity of a hand-held camera I suppose, to create action, but the only thing it creates is motion sickness. Then add an editing that just throws images at you in a furious pace and you get something that just is not watchable. It gave me a splitting headache. In my opinion; this kind of camera-work and editing is used to hide the lack of plot and should come with a warning label.
Don't waste your money on this, I would have liked mine back.
