Bad Accents + Shaky Camera + Predictable Plot = Bad Movie
20 September 2006
We went to a pre-release screening and were optimistic about the movie.

The British accents peaked out every once and a while in the "Louisana" born characters. The shaky camera movements were nauseating. We weren't sure if they were intended or just a poor projection. We'd figured out the story about half way through and thought about leaving the theater to see something more interesting. But, we stuck it out and aren't any better off for having done so. There is a nude scene that's reminiscent of Titanic. Everyone seemed to be drinking booze, but never shown drunk on screen. The Jude Law character was the most sympathetic. We never developed an attachment to the Stark Character or the Kate Character. Stark became annoying with all the speeches. There were entire statements where we could only make out one or two words. Stark's accent was difficult to follow without subtitles. Now that I think of it, subtitles would have helped all the accents out. I guess that means if you must see ATKM, rent it and turn the subtitles on
