I agree- one of my worst movie experiences in my life. I lost count as to how many times I looked at my watch...
Boring as heck and all the critics praised its movie prowess...
Needs to get back to Naked Lunch ect... gimmie the weird stuff any day at least that is intriguing.

I had the opposite reaction. The tension kept me interested. I have to say though that most of the third act felt weird and out of place, and William Hurt seemed like he was in a completely different movie.

But overall I though it was a pretty good movie. It made the violence difficult to watch and made you feel genuinely nervous about the characters well-being. So for me it delivered what was needed.

Actually that's not a bad description. He was playing in hammed up in a movie that was otherwise full of very serious down to earth performances.

I don't really feel bored by a movie, but this one...I mean it starts OK, and just when you think it's building for something really, really good, like a really good plot twist, you get the usual 'I knew it'/boring twist...then it all gets all weird and senseless.

Again, I had more fun watching Meet the Spartans, and that is tough to say...
