This is perhaps the worst movie I have seen since Igby Goes Down. It is truly awful. Walsh cannot direct or write. He can make pop videos and probably rather good adverts. The script is woeful, the story pointless. Craigs character, whilst shown at the beginning as a self-obsessed, over indulgent movie star never redeems himself throughout the movie, which I imagine was meant to be the reason for the two hours of tiresome clichés. Craig's character at one point asks his agent if he has read the script to movie he hopes to be in. I was left wondering if Craig even read the script before he agreed to be executive producer and lead actor! The audience in the cinema I saw this movie in were just laughing at the ridiculously melodramatic ending. A naked Daniel Craig, and a quick flash of Jodie May's tits do not make a good movie. Utter, utter testicles. Walsh may think a good taste in music and architecture and Daniel Craig walking around like John Wayne with hemorrhoids makes a great film but he is sorely mistaken. He should never be allowed near a movie camera again, and Daniel Craig should apologise for being involved in such an enormous pile of the brown stuff.
Having seen Shine a Light last week I thought it would be quite difficult to plum such depths of mediocrity but Walsh has managed it.
