Rhys-Meyers is talentless. I have never seen such a wooden performance in my life. It's not often that Allen makes such a disastrous mistake. Hopefully we will not have to endure this actor again. Even the usually captivating Johansson is left drifting in this movie as she tries to act against a wooden plank. The story is passable, and the movie is somewhat redeemed by the twist and turns at the end and great performances from James Nesbitt and Ewan Bremner in the last 10 minutes of the movie. However the otherwise strong British cast is inexplicably under utilised. Great character actors such as John Fortune, Rupert Penry Jones and Penelope Wilton are reduced to bit parts with no redeeming dialogue. I am disappointed to say this about a movie by the Master, but my heartfelt advice would be to avoid this movie at all costs. 1/5
What was the purpose of this movie. Apart from leading into yet another sequel?
The plot was weak, fragmented and full of holes. The acting was woeful, even normally proficient actors such as Alfred Molina and Tobey Maguire cast adrift in a script apparently written by four yr old's.
The special effects were so obviously CGI, to hold the interest for about as long as that dancing spiderman .gif circulated on the internet a couple of years ago.
To anyone save the most diehard comic-book fans, AVOID!
