Don't blame Halle Berry if you hear that this movie fails on so many levels that it's a wonder it ever got shown. Well, come to think of it you might blame Halle for not watching the company she keeps since she won her Oscar for "Monsters Ball". It's as if she was trying to show us that she can out Bruce Willis Bruce Willis in attempting to waste more talent in a lifetime by making as many big budget action thriller nonsense as she can. Did I mention Bruce Willis was in this film also?
Actually for what they were used for you could have put up cardboard cutouts of them and had the co-stars and extras work around them. The script for this vehicle was lacking in many area's but good dialogue stood out as the most glaring gap in good film making. The story of a the disrespected top reporter who turns a personal tragedy into a crusade for justice is just so thin and unbelievable that even the stunning Miss Berry and the witty Mr. Willis can't get us to suspend disbelief long enough to get into the story.
The who dun it is contrived, but I will admit you will not see the last twist coming. Mostly the mystery ending is so well hidden because it isn't at all foreshadowed and is not believable in any sense.
She and I agree that "Eye's Wide Shut" is probably the worst film we ever saw. This one isn't that bad, however I wouldn't recommend anyone going to see this film.
(There is a she as in the "she said" title of this blog and she will write pretty soon, I'm sure.)
