I looked forward to seeing this movie just because of the adverts, as
the Brits might say. Don't believe the hype, as Public Enemy used to
sing. What started off as an interesting, albeit derivative, premise
slowly devolved into a potboiler that I couldn't wait to be over. The
problems are too numerous to mention, but not the least of which is a
"hero" that spends far much time being an asshole. If the characters
are unappealing you have to make damn sure something in the movie is,
and that sure as hell wasn't happening. I don't know how such movies
get made. The script would have needed multiple revisions for this to
be appealing, and clearly that never happened. Some might like this
simply for Hugh Jackman's performance, that wasn't nearly enough for me.
