“Executive summary: not a waste of time, but you wonu0026#39;t missing a thing if you donu0026#39;t watch this one.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you are a movie buff, I challenge you to the following exercise:n1. watch this movie,n2. imagine making this movie in the 1970u0026#39;s, with no digital cameras, no digital editing tools, no digital post-production with no Kodachrome preset…nAlmost every good thing in this movie is borrowed from someone else, or is accomplished only through technical means.nDonu0026#39;t get me wrong: anyone can see that this is a movie made by talented people. But it fails to bring anything new or remotely remarkable. I guess the main problem is the plot: itu0026#39;s as thin as a stripperu0026#39;s g-string.nThe acting is good, but just enough. The script is good, but just enough. The dialogue… not enough. The characters… not enough.nThe only notable thing in this movie is the stunning beauty of the supporting actress.”
