This script is so bad I'm stunned. I'm sure it was only on the long history they share that Ben Affleck agreed to be in this movie for Robert Rodriguez. Rodriguez is a gifted Director but he really shouldn't write because it's just not his forte. I went through his entire IMDb credits for writers, and very little substance or memorable films beyond the ones that popped Because of his deft direction and/or interesting concept.
Alice Braga has been in some very good movies and she was quite good in them. This dialogue and the script do her no favors, however. Her weaknesses are revealed so greatly that I had to look her up to see where I knew her from because I was convinced this was her first job. But no she's been in a lot of good stuff and she's been good in them. That's what I mean by the script, making good actors mediocre, and so-so actors cringe worthy. The dialogue is silly at times. Truly silly. First draft quality.
I don't mean this to be a hit job, but I'm just so stunned because I was hopeful for a good movie and this is just so embarrassing. What a great cast wasted.
