Intelligence Required: Low.
Essential Viewing: No.
Well, lets get it out of the way- this movie is bad. First off the opening credits and the director both tried for a visual style similar to Fincher in Se7en. They do not pull it off. They try, but no dice. Second, the story is very predictable and as happen one out of every three times, Ethan Hawke is just terrible. Jolie must have just needed the paycheck cause that is all her performance is worth. I hope it wasn't a big one. ON a plus side, I genuinely jumped twice in this movie. Cheap shocks, but they still got me lol. To sum up, if you have never seen Se7en go see it. If you need to see Jolie naked, go rent Gia cause the flick is better lol.
