Saw this turkey tonite..... While Sandra Bullock is always wonderful to look at, and she actually IS a credible actress, she keeps picking turkeys for vehicles. The plot is full of holes, ignores obvious solutions and there's stuff that just makes no sense at all. Rent it, if you must see it. :thumbdown:

I recently watched this and agree with the above. It took forever to get interesting. Then once it did, I spent the rest of the movie just shaking my head.

The wife and I watched this last night. We both agreed it's time for all filmmakers to put the fuzzy timeline/alternate reality plot technique to bed for at least a decade. This one proved all the good stuff has been mined. Big, gaping plot holes, and not a decent dialogue to be found.

Whomever edited this dog needs to be blacklisted. HORRIBLE editing. Slow developing storyline, long pointless pans, visual clues so vague (the laundry) as to throw a wrench into the assumptions we're supposed to be making as an audience.

The movie's message was right out of a Saturday afternoon special. The ending was smug, not poignant. I can't tell if they were trying to get across their version of justice or their version of redemption. Neither was very compelling.

I hated it. I went to take a lighter and burn the portion of DVR disc where it was once stored. I wish I could have my 90 minutes back.

OK, I'm done. ;)

FWIW, RottenTomatoes gave it a whopping 8%..... which was about 6% too high.

This movie gives a whole new meaning to "stinker."

I blame all of you for actually watching this movie. What the 10 minute trailer wasn't bad enough to beat you over the head with a dontwatchme stick?

If it's Sandra Bullock, I'll give it I try..... She's EXTREMELY pleasant to look at.


The movie is still a major stinker, but Sandra still looks nice... ;)
