User Reviews

Patience Zero!

The names attached are alluring. Natalie Dormer, Matt Smith, Stanley Tucci and Jon Snows best friend. However, from minute one you are forced to listen to jarring accents which often leave you laughing rather than listening. Matt Smiths American accent... I live in Manchester, UK. I am no means a judge of American accents but why cast a British person in a role of an American with such a strange accent. The accents plus the dialogue leave much to be desired and there is times in which some lines are actually added into the film without the character moving the lips. A scene in which Natalie Dormer and Matt Smith, she is hugging him from behind and says "Lets go" Keep an eye out for her lips. The story isn't there, it really isnt a story at all. There is no surprises. It feels more like a good High school play then a movie. Quite honestly the ending is the best bit about this film, as you can tell they didnt have an actual plan on how it would end. But when it does, its so abrupt its actually funny. Comedic value 10! everything else 0.
