  Review:

  (Possible spoiler alert) I must say, I don't often have strong negative opinions of most movies I watch (cuz I only watch good movies, right?), but I rented this movie last night and by the end, was totally hating it. (Disclaimer - I was working while watching, so maybe I missed some details) TOP 10 reasons I hated this movie: 1.) No satisfying background of the war in Africa that took place before the story? I read more about it in the movie summary than I learned in the film. Going along with that, no real explanation of why so many people were needing transplants. If there was, I missed it. That's a flaw in itself because there should have been enough development that I wouldn't have missed it. 2.) Was not sympathetic with any character. I hate that. 3.) One of my biggest pet-peeves in movies: when junkies clean up in a matter of days, and drunk people become sober in a matter of minutes. 4.) Jude Law acting like he was into Soul/R&B music. 5.) Jude Law acting like a bad-ass. Law can sure play smarmy, but bass-ass...nnnot so sure. The movie completely lost me when he had the showdown towards the end with all the Union guys. Laughable. 6.) Scene of repo-ing their own organs: Totally implausible, cheezy, didn't even like the special effects - throw in the eroticism of it, and I wanted to puke. Don't get me wrong, I can understand erotic scenes mixed with blood and gore, but you better be sure it's done correctly, or artfully, etc. 7.) I was happy when John Leguizamo made an appearance, but it wasn't good enough to save the movie by any means. 8.) I love me some Liev Schreiber. But please stick to the art films. You spoil your talent with Hollywood one-liner roles. Hurl. 9.) The soundtrack. How could I be unhappy hearing "Feelin' Good" by Nina Simone, or Beck? I guess "Nausea" was perfect on one level at least. 10.) I was so gone by how horrible it was by the end, that I was too numb to have any reaction to the "big twist." It was just another unbelievable let down after so many others.
