I am in complete and utter shock at how this is a well-loved film with such great ratings.

This is HANDS DOWN the most boring film I have ever seen and the acting is so bad that it's not even laughable.

What on earth is Christian Bale's English accent? Why are all the English characters such caricatures? The dialogue is cheesy at best, but really just downright bad. The storyline is boring. Matt Damon seems like he would rather be anywhere else. Honestly, save your time. This film just goes to show that you can't always trust awards success as a measure of actual quality.

(Please tell me how anyone could take the accents seriously-I can't for the life of me understand how they were in the final cut! Had no one on the set ever been to the U. K.?)
