This movie started off terrible, and then just got worse and worse.

From the premise of the movie, the ending, it was cliche and tiresome to the point of annoyance. I nearly walked out of this film. With the 2 other people I watched this movie with, I asked them both to name one other characters name in this movie 5 minutes after we walked out of it. Neither could name a character besides the lead, who was only memorable as he was a complete an utter liability (DiCaprio's character Cobb).

Each character is introduced into this movie like a comedy, with no backstory, or substance to them, and with there name barely mentioned. The lead characters father introduces one of the character, which just happens to be a fresh face university student, who just happens to be down for some CRIME.

The chemist, who has a maybe a hundred different bottles of potions behind him, ALL UNLABELLED, who just picks one out and says "this is the one you need, oh yeah, I'm down for some CRIME, I'll join you."

All the other characters are incredibly forgettable as you go further into this movie and the plot unravells, where you begin to think to yourself "is this the best way to do this? Or just the most complicated and ridiculous way?" Southparks parody of this film sums up this movie perfectly.

The dramatic scenes of tension are EXHAUSTING where you actually get bored of them, and the pace of the scene is just frozen in a seizure. It's not comfortable at all that was where I just wanted to walk out.

The lead character is also a cliched abomination that lets this entire movie down with his backstory, that lingers like a leaking sewer in the air. It slows down the entire movie again, and caps it all off too.

People rating this movie so highly really haven't looked at this movie objectively at the substance of the movie or its characters, or the MANY, MAAAANY holes in the story, or just how cliche the entire premise and story is. The worst movie I'll never forget.
