Not really worth the effort
My wife and I actually went to see 'The Golden Compass', but could not get in, so watched this instead.
Wish we had not bothered.
Christian did act it well, and looked totally different to any other role he has played before, but to be honest the storyline was quite weak, and drawn out. Some very wierd scenes, and not even a good twist at the end, more like a cop out.
Don't want to give too much away, but overall a very poor film. -

[Highly rated reviewer]
Quiet man
The plot behind this film should have made for a great film but it fell down.
Christian Slater who has finally shirked off the bad pretty boy image (mostly because he has lost his hotness) does a good job as the lead man. And the story of a disgruntled employee who wishes to kill his collegues but gets beaten to it should in essence be brilliant. But the over use of CGI in places where it's unnecessary and the premise that the love affair fits doesn't fit with me.
Worth a watch and i'm not completely bashing it but the film was missing something!
