Just been to see this at the cinema - all I can say is that it is two hours of my life that I won't get back. Frankly it was the biggest pile of camel dung I have seen for quite some time.
The plot was contrived, the editing was sloppy and the culprit was soooo obvious from the word go. Many of the characters and ideas were hackneyed and stereotyped. John Hurt was clearly going through the motions (though he still managed to be amusing at times). The love interest started with an American accent, moved on to Irish and ended up somewhere on the Continent. In general the dubbing was atrocious, especially the Russian student.
There was also the inevitable, gratuitous, sex scene, complete with food - why do they bother?
Hurt's character managed to spout the most meaningless philosophical twaddle as if it had some deep significance to humankind - I suspect that most first year philosophy students at Oxford could probably have shot him down in flames with consummate ease.
Hurt's character suggests that it is not possible to know the truth, or even if there is such a thing - I disagree, the truth is this film wasn't worth watching!
