No, it wasn't.

Oddly, that is sort of what it was, except the sexual marathon was nauseating.

Uh. Hell, and no to Ed Harris. He played the EXACT same role as in Beautiful Mind, only he was an organized criminal this time. Same voice inflection. Same fucking clothing. Hell no.

No, I'm talking about the WHOLE FUCKING MOVIE'S BEING AWKWARD.

EVERYTHING.

Not just the beginning. I understood the beginning cheesiness.

The cheesiness, however, should not extend to the sex scenes and the entire "history" of the protagonist.
