Posted Jul 13, 2006 - Morgan Freeman and Kevin Spacey are good in whatever piece of crap they happen to find themselves. To me, that's pretty much a given. This film wasn't crap, but it was far from being any kind of classic. I have no problem re-watching a really good film; a classic film I can re-watch constantly ("The Godfather", "Aguirre, the Wrath of God", "White Heat", "Nosferatu", etc.). I have no desire to see this film ever again. While watching it, I was never able to suspend my sense of disbelief regarding the contrived plot-line for a second, which pretty much ruined the entire picture for me (I had the same reaction to "Mystic River"). As for Brad Pitt, he's at best an adequate actor, the male equivalent of Julia Roberts (he's prettier though), and added absolutely nothing to the picture. Neither did Gwyneth Paltrow.
