Almost as exciting as election coverage
This is a sort of swashbuckling romp through a story told in film and television on several occasions as noted by most reviewers.Kidman and Craig do an OK job as the central characters and there is a modicum of suspense throughout the movie.It did not take long for the gaps in the plot and the inconsistencies to show through but it was entertaining enough for my fourteen year old to sit through until the end.Good idea, gone wrong. Too superficial, probably just made it into maximum viewer attention span of about 100 minutes and about as interesting as the remake of Stepford Wives. Hang on. Kidman was in that too. These movies must remind her of her ex-hubby.I would rather watch this than the election coverage but it is hard to choose between the two and I would rather not watch the elction coverage although Hilary and Obama remind me of Kidman and Craig.OK if you like this sort of thing.
