I usually agree with "cinema rian" but not this time...i really did think it was "enough already" with the "only Americans count in the world" message.. (tell me something i dont know) and as soon as i saw the picture of the Japanese,or was it Chinese? guy with the Moroccan man i worked out the "link" in the story....As only Cate and Brad's thread is in English i didnt even bother with the sub-titles..when i did dip into them,the lines were all "dont shoot"...and "stop him" and basically "aaahhgh"...Every single character other than Brad and Cate is undeveloped,stereotypical,cast as outlaws,unable to explain or stick up for themselves..dont Brad and Cate KNOW they are employing an illegal immigrant?..i really couldnt be bothered with this..The phrase "snivveling load of shit" seemed apposite as the credits rolled,and i was sooo glad i didnt bother with the subtitles...i dunno,maybe i was in a bad mood,but ,for me they even blew the "touching ,comforting" scene between Pitt and Blanchette,when she's just "peed her pants" ..they cant help but let their little comfort kiss turn into a proto-hollywood snog... hey deja vu did this get Oscar nominations?
