The premise to this Australian flick were very positive so I watched with the highest expectations, or well the ones I used to had with similar genre movies. This movie was really disappointing, it starts off with a good mood and all that reminding the best Haneke of Cachè, Funny Games and Benny's Video but then turns out to be an empty case of feminine frustration (could be a darkened spin-off of sex and the city) with absolute no emotional value and particular twists. There are also some plot holes and unlikely reactions of the characters but you'll keep on with the movie whatsoever to see how far the bleak wife can go on. Just a nice acting can't save a vacuous movie. Trying to differ is fine, but not this way.

This is one of the most overrated movies of the last decade, just unbelievable that it reached the top 250.. Johnny Depp is good to watch (as always) but the rest of acting was terrible, especially Orlando Bloom. Many people talks about fun, but what is fun? In this movie I found so much hackneyed entertainment just disguised in a new form: take away the skeleton pirates, put in it criminals, terrorists, cops or whatever and you get the same result. With a less banal script and a bit of drama, ah and yes with a *bit* of characters development this could have been better, but hey, it's Disney.... This is just the usual "turn-off-brain" movie, nothing less, nothing more.
