everybody split up
30 October 2006
An interesting idea for a movie is splitting the screen and letting dual realities run along a very similar plot. What the director is trying to suggest? The different perspective of the same situation as viewed by different genders? The infinite possibility of infinite possibilities? A clever trick to turn an otherwise slow moving meet-cute into something artsy? I don't know. The premise doesn't entirely work for me though as the more jesting aspects of my nature keep imaging the Batphone ringing at some point. Other than that there isn't much for me to say about the movie other than I think it's a more toned down, less passionate, more conservative version of the characters from Linklater's Before Sunrise movies. And Aaron Eckhart who normally seems to be a terrible terrible actor manages to actually pull off some adequate acting. I still would have chosen another lead though. Fans of Robocop may not be entertained.
