This is one stupid movie and for shame. It could have been a masterpiece. It has all the ingredients. The film stars Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie, two of the biggest and most talented stars today. The supporting cast includes Paul Bettany, Timothy Dalton and Rufus Sewell, all great. The film is written by three writers who's work includes "The Usual Suspects", "Gosford Park" and "Shadowlands". The film is directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck. He gave us "The Lives Of Others" one of the highlights of the decades. The film looks awesome and Venice is one beautiful place to make a movie. The plot could have been great but they just did a awful job of it. I love the title but loathe this movie. Everybody in this movie said they made a mistake in doing it and others just wanted the money. It's just plain bad
Honestly the dialogue is so bad that I want to laugh but I don't want to waste it on this movie. The characters are completely unbelievably, they bring dumb to whole new levels. It's horribly paced and makes you feel nothing. I paused this movie for an hour to take a nap I was that bored, I continued it and felt the same. Who cares if Depp is mixed up in some game Jolie put him into, I don't because it's so far fetched and idiotic. I'd give it a worse score but star appeal and maybe like two scenes keep you interested. It's not worth the experience though. The movie was nominated for best comedy at the Golden Globes. It's not a comedy, every laugh is unintentional, there's no jokes. Let it die be forgotten.
4.5/10
Recommendation: Don't bother
