what a waste. john travolta and scarlett johansen deserved better than this. to start at the beginning and jt was horribly miscast in the lead here. the role called for someone who could convince as a broken down anti hero and someone who could look haunted and defeated. billy bob thornton would have fit the bill and or even al pacino and but jt is just too alive and and looks to be having too much fun. also and surely someone who has been through the mill to the extent jt character had would have suffered some physical effects. the character presented to the audience looked as if he could start as tight end for the oakland raiders. scarlett faired little better role wise. where was the pain and conflict of what should surely have been troubling development. and as for the plot . well and none of it makes sense. the characters leap from one frame of mind to another seemingly without cause  and certainly without explanation. the pace of the film also leaves something to be desired and namely and pace. this is a very slow film and not that i have anything against slow films and as long as they are heading somewhere. the pace only picks up towards the very end and when it shifts from a slow dirge to a frantic race to pack in as many tired clichés as possible. in this it succeeds  the only thing missing being something involving a small dog. negative for this one purely for gabriel macht performance  he was the only member of the cast who was a) well cast and b) able to convince in his role. all in all and a terrible disappointment and a real waste of a couple of hours.
