last movie : Da Vinci Code
fought sleep for the duration of this lacklustre film.
totally devoid of emotion or energy.
the only person who gave what you would call a performance is Sir Ian MCKellen who was the only one who looked like he was into making the movie. the rest were flatter than a 3 day old open bottle of ginger ale.
other people must have found the plot more interesting than i as well ...
i couldnt get my head around some old man, gutshot, making up puzzles and shlogging around the louvre writing notes.
i know he's a man with a mission but come on !
still - plausibility wasnt the real issue with this one .. it was just the flaccid performances and flatlining pace.
on a couple of attempts i was embarrased at the attempt to provide emotion and climax by music alone.
this folks, is a non-movie...
