Staring - Benicio Del Toro, Anthony Hopkins, Hugo Weaving, Emily Blunt
The trailers and tv spots for this one looked interesting and I was hoping it would be good. Unfortunately, I was let down big time.
The writers did attempt to create a somewhat original storyline, but it quickly fell apart early on and became overly predictable. The big plot twist, where you learn that Anthony Hopkins is also a werewolf, was stupid...being that Benicio's character saw his father, in wolf form, kill his mother and never once put two and two together. In fact, the script was so lacking the actors couldn't even get into it. Anthony Hopkins was completely lifeless. Hugo Weaving seemed to be going out of his way to not sound like Agent Smith and Megatron rolled into one. Benicio looked like he was going to fall asleep, which I don't blame him for...I almost feel asleep several times.
Overall, I was disappointed with the movie. It's not worth wasting $10 to go see it, and I'm not even sure it's worth renting either.
My Rating - 2 Stars
