I didn't think it could possibly be as bad as everyone said it was. I
thought wrong. This was a complete and total misfire. The script is a
joke, and the tone and direction are all wrong. It's hopelessly dull and
curiously amateurish.
For a detective story about recovering stolen artistic masterpieces, there sure wasn't a lot of detective work or focus on the art itself. Instead, this scatterbrained mess chooses to force some awkward character set pieces on the viewer in the hopes that we might begin to care about them. It's flimsy, cheap, and ultimately hollow.
Didn't anyone watch this before they released it? You'd think with so many great people involved in this film, at least one of them would have been embarrassed enough so as to not want this film to see the light of day.
Okay, maybe I'm being excessively harsh, but that's only because I was so excited by the trailers and the cast way back in the day when I first heard about the movie.What a waste.
