A nice try from all involved, but overall a very slow-paced film that looks great but underneath doesn't have much going for it. Jolie and Depp actually play off each other pretty well and the direction is fine, they're troubled by a script that halfway through gives you a twist, and because that isn't enough, the ending has to have one that's completely unbelievable. I don't know what it is about some movies nowadays, they can't just tell a story, they have to have some twisty gimmick to get people talking. These distractions aren't enough to make the viewing enjoyable. Skip it.
