I know I'm not going to get raves all the time, but:

"The acting has some bright spots, but is pretty weak most of the time..."

BULLSHIT. 99% of the reviews point out the performances as being one of the film's strongest points.

"I know I'll be going against the grain here, but I feel Pereira's direction is rather flat here, he does little to enhance the material in terms of visuals, even less than his buddy Smith."

PLEASE. The guy could at least offer criticism that's not pulled out of his ass and completely untrue. I'm wondering if he didn't say the above just so he COULD "go against the grain".

I can take valid criticism and the film is far from perfect, but this guy seems to be "going against the grain" just for the sake of going against the grain, especially in light of the above comments.
