    Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

    ★★½

    I have to admit I gave up after 30 minutes. Not one compelling character, situation or actor.

    Surprisingly good on many fronts, including not least of all the direction by M. Night Shyamalan. Great use of silence and background noise to create uncertainty. One of his best.

    Not one of Stallone's best efforts.

    The brilliance of a good author is to make the reader believe that he or she is also brilliant. Writer directors have realized that if a movie is bad enough the audience thinks it must be over their head and is therefore great. Very often they are in fact just bad. Add Birdman to this category.
