I had hopes when I first read about this movie that it would shine. I thought that it might end up being just as you described. This will go on my "desperate" list when I go to the video store. Burn After Reading and Men Who Stare At Goats has caused me to change my view on what caliber a movie Clooney will be in.

This movie sucked. I was definitely intrigued with the first half of the film thinking that it was kinda slow because it needed to build up to the end, but it never picked up. I was so ready for it to be over. What a waste, it easily could have been a much better film.

I agree Scott, that knowing what to expect going in helps with the enjoyment of this movie.
