it annoyed the hell out of me. every scene pretty much spelled out what would happen later in the film, and i figured out the ending somewhere near the middle of the film. the "action" just further annoyed me throughout.

i just wish films were made by people with real creativity. the writing and the story lines in most new films is horrible. taking old films and remaking them is getting obnoxious. oooooh, my car's faster than yooooooooooors!!! my gun's bigger than yoooooooors!!!

the most notable new films i've seen are "Secretary" and "The Life of David Gale". at least in those there's a reason to pay attention throughout the film.
