On my list but was never actually sent, so just writing this to clean up my page!!
Started with good intentions but soon disolved into a plot which was far more complex than it needed to be and rapidly lost our interest. Forest Whittaker is an actor whose films we always look forward to seeing, but even he couldn't really turn this around and his accent was shaky to say the least.
Even at the end we weren't even really sure we'd got it. We're not rocket scientists but if we don't get it, chances are many others won't either.
