jrbitics Review of Lions for Lambs

Lions for Lambs (2007)

Vague dialogue, poor directing, and less-than believable characters.

[1/10 · 5 April 2008]

I remember seeing the previews for this movie and thinking it would be pretty horrible. I was right. For some reason, perhaps a momentary lapse in reason, I decided to watch this movie. The entire hour and a half of film time is set in 3 different scenes, all disconnected from each other. The characters are generic and weak. The story line (any one of the 3) is ironic, somewhat sappy, and filled to capacity with entirely unbelievable dialogue. Everything about this movie was poor, from directing, to casting, to costume designer, to script, was very poorly done. The movie pretends to carry with it some sort of profound ideology, but between all the vague and seemingly pointless banter, this ideology is not detectable. I don't think this movie could have been made any worse.
