#50 Big Nothing

It has Simon Pegg in it. It's a dark comedy. With crime even! And Local H at the start! How can this lose?
Oh it does, utterly.
How much of a miscast is this? The protagonist, who you're supposed to like and feel bad for, and identify with? David Schwimmer. Seriously.
The skeezy con-man whose kind of pathetic, and oh yes, AMERICAN? Simon Pegg.
Wrong.Wrong.Wrong.
Man, I love aimlessly fatal yet funny bleak crime-gone-wrong movies more than the next girl but this one just kind of kept on throwing more characters, gags, and "surprises" that one would think that the odds would mean that at least ONE would have to be good.
No dice.
Blech. Glad it was Watch Instantly.
