The Unwatchable.

Anna (Emily Browning) returns home after some time in a mental institution only to find her dad has taken in an cranky wife. On top of this unpleasant unpleasant surprise, the teen is being visited by the dead. This is a very conventional, and somewhat boring horror flick. It is reminiscent of a dozen other similar films and follows all the expected paths (An American Haunting, Watcher in the Woods, and The Haunting in Connecticut to name some).

"Golly, I've seemed to have lost my shirt."

This dumb but it's a glorious brand of dumb. The other Transporter movies are as meaningful as the backs of cereal boxes but without all the big words. If you watch this, see him drive the car on top of the train and you're still interested in seeing the movie, you may as well go out of your way to see it, there's obviously no helping you. If you're into cheese, you have something to look foward to now.

Even though they play off our lowly, mischievous natures heist films can be fun. The trick is to make the outlaws as digestible as possible, give them plenty of snappy dialog and keeps them from appear too criminal. In tandem with this, make those who the thieves are stealing from more plainly evil and "deserving" of having their toys taken away. This film sets this structure up by showing the thieves as a gaggle of inexperienced klutzes and their victims as hyper-powerful sexual deviants.

The heist portions of the film are interesting but far too brief. The sexual deviant and political maneuvering elements are too prominent and gratuitous. This leads to a stumbling story that can't decide which direction it wants to focus. At the center of this wandering mess is Jason Statham who is a charismatic anchor dragging along the bottom of this sea of narrative tangents looking for something to snag. He once again shows he's a solid leading man but his performance can't overcome the poor script.

Ultimately, this is a fast-food version of Guy Ritchie.

Guy Ritchie’s international debut production about a gaggle of low life Londoners who are forced into a life of crime after losing a high stakes poker game is a celebration of all that is bad in the human condition. However, this film does a good job of selling its story. With its clever camera angles, editing and story Ritchie weaves a story that satisfies...while it also debases its audience. This film introduced Ritchie's fresh voice to the world. Too bad said voice seems to be cursed by Tourettes.

At least you can't say they don't know they've made something big and stupid. Jason Statham has built a resume littered with some incredibly hollow action films. I bet every time his agent tells him about a new project Statham eagerly asks "does it read like it was written by a chimp? Yes? Great, I'm in!"

There's a part of me that looks at this and thinks this may be the best film ever made. I don't let that part of me out much. My life is easier that way.
