January 1, 2011I stopped watching this halfway through and, you know what, I don't feel even remotely bad about it. 2011 is too short to be spending with fictional douchebags!

April 11, 2010Yeuch. Had it not been for the truly excellent performances from Guillaume Canet and Marion Cotillard I am pretty confident I would have switched this off half way through.
