I saw this at the Tribeca FF on Friday night. The cast ensemble is one of the finest, the problem was the bad script and the out of control actors. Catalina looked like a deer caught in the headlines, the director could not seem to get her to emote anything more mild confusion. Brendan Fraser (of whom I'm a big fan) just spun out of control, it was over-acting that should have clearly been reined in. The death scene by Scott Glen at the end elicited many a laugh, which says a lot about the bad script. To suddenly come back to life just long enough to save his love and friend with the final words of "go...." before croaking was hilarious; I felt bad but could not help laughing out loud (actually I was hysterical with laughter). A big plus to Mos Def and Alice Braga, they were the saving grace of the film, obviously in little need of direction, I hope to see them all in a better directed film. Agreed that the cast seem uninterested or perhaps defensive during the Q&A session, but I can't blame them after the audience's reactions.
