My Response: I was excited about this movie until I found out more about it. Ed Norton is one of the greatest actors of this generation and he usually only participates in good films. But this one seems to have a lot going against it. The project was canceled at one time before starting up again and the release date has been pushed back a few times, both of which are usually not associated with good films. Most of the early reviews are not good, so don't get your hopes up too much. I'd say to at least rent it due to Norton's acting skills.
