Josh Hartnett
Reviews Featuring Josh Hartnett
While Hartnett is a good male lead, he doesn't quite pull it off (no pun intended) successfully in this quirky movie about sex. It's not over funny and certainly nothing new. Complete with hugely predictable 'does he get the girl?' ending and over the top characters - as a romantic comedy, it succeeds at entertaining, if only barely.
Jaded LA homicided detective Joe Gavilan has seen it all before and is surprised by nothing - which is just how you will feel after viewing this tired old hokum.
A triumph of technique, a failure of storytelling.
Its big, its loud, and its a bit of an all-American mess but its not quite as bad as you might expect.
Expertly-directed but sadly mis-cast, this engaging romantic thriller brings us less a love triangle than a love dodecahedron so make sure youre paying attention if you dont want to end up lost!
Its packed to the gunnels with sex and violence but, after all the hype, inflicting this level of disappointment upon us is the biggest sin of all.
A sign of better things to come as Sofia Coppola loses her directorial virginity with this sad, absorbing adaptation.
