Proof Russell Crowe should retire


I can see the rest of cast, plot, and directing sucking but this guy was suppose to make this movie. He just put the nail in the coffin. ZZzzzz...... I never liked him and this is proof that unlike wine he doesnt get any better as he ages.

I'm a master of fright, and a demon of light

I thought Russell Crowe was great. Funny enough, I didn't really enjoy the film at the cinema but after the second and third viewing on DVD and Netflicks. I changed my mind and thought it was great.

Crowe actually did save the movie. It was supposed to be Brad Pitt that was casted and he dropped out at the last moment. The studio was in deep trouble before Crowe agreed to do it and had to scramble to prepare for the role. In those circumstances Its amazing he pulled off such a great job.
