The Informers (2008)

98 minutes you will never get back

[1/10 · 2 September 2009]

Apparently you must give it at least 1 star. It is unwarranted.

The film is a complete f%^&ing waste of time. The film just seemed to be one appallingly long cigarette commercial.

There is NO STORY. I kept waiting and nothing develops, luckily I have FF, can't imagine what it must have been like to have to sit in the cinema for this piece of dreck.

None of characters even if they are not horrible people are remotely likable or appealing so I could not care less what happened to them. Chrissy died, so what? who cares.

When Chrissy, a minor character of absolutely no interest, none of them are interesting, died my only thought was thank heaven the film is over.

I am baffled at how such a competent cast was put together. The cast lead me to believe the film would be good Wow! that was a complete assumption on my part. I am sure they are all hoping this film will sink into oblivion as quickly as possible.

AGAIN NO STORY! UNLIKABLE PEOPLE! Nothing that can hold a persons attention.

X's & O's (2007)

Completely boring

A waste of time. Watching ice melt is probably more interesting.

1 commentator said was not 'chick flick' but that is the only redemption I can see is that women may like this film.

The notion that Lorenzo, who is getting lots of women, is tortured over his inability to find a lasting relationship is pure female fantasy. Lorenzo is in his late 20s. If Lorenzo was in his his late 30s or more it might be credible.

Also the emasculation of Jimmy was not credible.

The biggest problem with the movie besides nothing interesting happening is I just kept wondering why I am suppose to care about these characters.

Very ordinary people who I might be friends with in real life but they are not my friends, and I wouldn't want to watch a movie about any of my friends since they are ordinary people.

Watching I just keep thinking I don't care about these people and there is no compelling reason for me to care about them.
