Well, I don’t know about how Mel Gibson would feel about a Jew critiquing one of his films, but I’m just going to say he’s a crap actor who sucked dick to get to the top anyway. Now that he’s stopped reading (which let’s face it, he never was) I can go on to a more serious look at the film.

It was boring. I was so easily distracted, some of the time I forgot to look at the screen. If I had been tired at all, I might have fallen asleep. It had some good parts, but it was altogether unimaginative and the best actor in the entire film was probably the kid or an actor that’s no longer a factor maybe a half hour in.

It wasn’t terrible, just boring. I mean, I wouldn’t warn anyone away from the film but I’d be hard-pressed to watch it again.

Overall Opinion – 2/5
