This struggles throughout to escape that sense of fictionalised truth, as if the writer has overcomplicated things by cramming in political jargon so as to be taken seriously (even Clooney's weight gain has no apparent purpose, other than to possibly allow him to star in a political film without being a pin-up). The vaguely connected stories would perhaps benefit from a longer duration, whereby we may even care for the death of a principle character; but as it is, it's connect-the-dots on a massive sheet of paper, with no pen to do so. Frivolous. [/b]
I am beginning to doubt the merit of your rating system. Zero stars? Come on.... You can find faults with ANY movie and reduce it to zero stars. If you really intend to. Perhaps you did not like the hype sorrounding the movie, but... Nevermind, who am i to question your opinion or taste. Zero stars it is then.
