I was extremely bored and desperate for entertainment. It was either this or watching 300 or 'The Namesake' again. At the last second at the counter, I chose this - even though I had checked the RT rating before I headed out.

Bruce Willis sleepwalks through the role. Halle Berry doesn't show us her boobs but she dabs a little perfume under her dress and dry-humps a guy. Giovanni Ribissi was good as the token computer-geek/hacker but the director jacked it in a scene where he turns out to be a typical computer-geek-with-crush-on-co-worker/friend who has a secret shrine dedicated to the object of his affection. There is a naked though horribly decomposed corpse for those who like that kind of stuff.

Cheesy product placements for Victoria's Secret, Heineken & Reebok.

Just want to know what others around here think about the movie. I think it is a lame movie but probably not as bad as the 1-star reviews out there. Maybe 1.5/5 stars.

And yeah, there is a twist ending that comes out of nowhere. And not the Fight Club/Sixth Sense type but more like the....uh....ok, I can't remember other ****** twist endings. Someone help me out?

Give it a miss. I can't decide whether to classify it as:
- I want my money back
- I want my two hours back
- I want my money AND my two hours back
- Nah, I was bored and at least I didn't feel like walking out

Ebert and Roper (actually Roper and A.O. Scott this week) said that it would easily make every bottom 10 list this year.

After seeing Halle on the Daily Show, I was a little interested. Not anymore.
