 The movie was better and worse than I hoped.

I think the first quarter was definately slow and convoluted. I did not REMOTELY believe those two people were in a plane with each other. As stated, why have all the close-ups on them when you can look at flying?

How many people wanted to beat the poo poo out of Brad Pitt's old girlfriend when she pocketed the vials? And what the hell were they anyway? A&E? What's that mean? They stole a bit from His Girl Friday, which I encourage everyone to see how a plucky reporter can not come off like a whiney bitch.

Good stuff: The villain is dead! DEAD! How loving great is that? Very original. The jokes. There were at least 3 times I laughed out loud. Not piss my pants laughing, but I wasn't expecting it.

I'll give it a 3.75. So I'll vote a 4 and a 3.5.

This movie was horrible, I basically kept watching it to see if it would get any better and it didnt. Good production, good actors, good sets, really lovely script.

Not a review here, but you said good this, good that and gave it a .5 which is as low as it possibly goes. I'd think if the word "good" appears anywhere in comments it should at least be a 1. Just like if you have any CONS at all, it shouldn't be a 5.5. Otherwise we're going to have kind of inconsistent ratings.
