Sibéria

Flat script, flat directing, flat acting. Ingredients that made this film slow, boring and for only viewing it in fast forward mode. I don't know why Mr. Reeves accepted to participate in it. I guess for paying some bills. A complete flop.

I hate anticipating a film based on the trailer, and then getting a totally different experience when watching the film. The movie is nothing like the trailer portrays it. The plot is never flushed out, characters aren't developed, tons of loose ends throughout the film, and an awful ending. There were some things that kept me intrigued enough to stick with it to the end, but then I was thoroughly disappointed, as the story really never went anywhere.

This film tells the story of an American man who goes to Russia for a deal of blue diamonds.

The film starts off moderately good, but five minutes later it becomes horrendous. It becomes a romantic film, but there is no chemistry at all. They two characters do not seem attracted to each other, and their romance is contrived and unconvincing. After fifty minutes of romance, finally we get to see diamond related scenes again. Yet, these diamond scenes are just more excuses to have sex scenes. It just becomes quite ridiculous. The pace is slow, the story is implausible and the film just has no thrill or engagement. It is a plain bore, and does not captivate me at all. Frankly, it is quite a disappointing film.

This film was agonisingly painful to watch. Even the sex scenes were non eventful.

How a film this poor gets made is beyond me.

Dreadful attempt at a plot. Absent character development.

Canada as Siberia? Almost funny.

The two stars are for beautiful St Petersburg - about the only thing worth noting in this sorry excuse for a film.
