I saw it a few months back and found it mediocre beyond belief. The concept was good but the execution was very poor. The entire film look and played out like an early 90s direct to video sci fi film with elements of Bonnie and Clyde thrown in for effect. Seyfried was absolutely terrible, she was a charisma vacuum and managed to irritate me every time she opened her mouth. Cillian Muprhy's cop could have been an interesting character and the relationship between him and Timberlake really should have been expanded upon but the writer/director took the easy way out and made him just another world weary cliched cop.

The gangster deciding to arm wrestle Trousersnake, his nemesis, instead of just popping him off when he had no quams earlier about killing recklessly.
The car crash and flip in a convertible; both Trousersnake and ladyfriend after 1 or 2 tumbles and not even a broken little finger, wolverine like powers of recovery. The tough love cop playing it risky with his top-up card, defacto suicide and not a victory for Trousersnake. Trousersnake and ladyfriend running, literally for their lives out of LA, when they could have A) taken some of the time for themselves that they Robin Hooded or B) taken a car or C) BOTH! Trousersnake doing his best Clarke Kent disguise to get the private security job; "Black suit? Check. Sun Glasses? Check. My word I barely recognise myself." Leonard drinking himself to oblivion was actually the best bit of the film. Citizens that appear out of the walls on the streets and walk aimlessly toward nothing was rather creepy and they could've really played up on this and introduced some frights along the way, sure why not. In saying all that was a great idea just terrible screenplay, script and seemed rushed. Would never watch it again. |
