away from this pile of crap. I did not have great expectations for this film, but this movie undershot them by a mile. The worst leaden, wooden acting I've seen in a long time. How do you take great actors like Hanks, Tatou, and Reno... and utterly reduce them to puppet-like automatons? It felt as if the janitor at the editing facility did the final cut, assembling the film from scraps left on the cutting room floor.You want mind-numbing, continuous exposition? You want bland, coma-inducing acting? It's all here. Man, what a waste of time, money and talent.
The "flashback" scenes intended to provide historical context to the story were hilariously bad, but they were the most entertaining portions of the movie.
Only Ian McKellen turns in a decent performance... it's good enough to remind you that everything else about this film sucks.
