Self indulgent and boring

The trailer and ads for this movie are very misleading. You think it is going to be an intelligent spy/assassin thriller when instead it is just a boring self indulgent character study of a hitman. The hint should have been that George Clooney is the producer and the rest of the entire cast and crew are Europeans and it was filmed entirely in Europe. I think Clooney did this movie for two reasons: to stretch as an actor and to maximize his profits. He really gives a leaden dull performance, I think more because of the writing than anything else. There is almost no action or suspense in this movie. NOT recommended- not even on DVD or cable.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Sad but great movie

I wasn't ever thinking about attending a Michael Jackson concert , even though I am a fan, but after watching this movie I can say that I am very sad that I will never get the chance to see Michael in concert. Besides being one of the best dancers and performers around, it was obvious from the movie what a genuius he was. He just wasn't a singer and dancer, this show was his vision of how to present his songs and ideals. I was thinking about all the dancers who travelled from around the world and this was their big break and then it was gone. Anyhow, this is a great movie which really captures the essence of Michael Jackson- the person and the performer.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

BORING!!!

My wife and I both thought this was one of the most pointless and boring movies we have ever seen. At 1.5 hours it seemd like 2.5! There are a few chuckles but it is not really funny. THe character studies are shallow and not very insightful - you really do not care for the characters. We highly recommend not seeing his movie.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
