If you are the type that likes happy endings, avoid this movie! Bruce Willis dies and he doesn't save the world, and the journey to this depressing conclusion is no fun at all. It reminded me of Arlington Road, where the terrorist uses the good guy to blow up the building at the end of the movie. Also, in this movie, the repetitive flashbacks to Bruce's airport dream were overdone. By the 3rd time, I was saying "I got it already", and by the 5th or 6th flashback I was ready to throw something at the screen. In the featurette, Terry Gilliam said that he thought he had managed to snooker the major studios into producing a "European art movie". He did, and I hate European art movies. On the other hand, if you like such things, you'll probably like the film. It was well acted.
