Oh wow, did NOT expect that. How hard is it to make a fun adventure movie with those two stars? As long as it's coherent you'd think folks would be happy. How bad must it really be?!?!

Ebert -

...There was really only one cliche left, and I was grateful when it arrived. You know how a man in a high place will look down and see a canvas awning that might break his fall, and he jumps into it? Yep. And it’s shielding a fruit cart at the open-air market and he lands on the oranges and runs off, leaving the cart owner shaking his fist. This is a rare example of the Vertical Fruit Cart Scene, in which the cart is struck not from the side but from the top.

Hollywood Reporter -

Looking puffy and unassertive, Depp never has registered less effectively in his entire film career.

It only made $16 million opening weekend. With those two stars, that's AWFUL.

I'm shocked. I simply don't understand why attendance was the same as the likes of The Messengers? Johnny Depp! Angelina Jolie! Mainstream!?

I said this looks like Knight & Day all over again. I did say it.

Tom Cruise's star power is on the slide, same with Diaz. But these two? They're at the peak. So odd to me.

I really want to see Anthony Zimmer because I love the concept, but it's not on LoveFilm...
