I read the reviews for this movie, asked my friends about it and decided to take a look. After about 45 minutes into it I found myself sorely disappointed with the acting, the story progression, and the development of the characters (no genuine or believable character development). Watanabe, Page, and Gordon-Levitt demonstrated some of the poorest acting I've seen since Con Air (with Watanabe difficult to understand 90% of the time). Bottom-line, I believe that the movie did a good job of hypnotizing everyone into thinking that the Matrix want-to-be story was deep or intriguing. Please don't waste your time.
