Jude Law in '360': movie review

Despite an impressive production crew and cast, '360' is disappointing.

Actor Jude Law stars in the film '360.'

360鈥 is a classic example of how you can鈥檛 always judge a movie by its credits. This dreary, interminable global rondelay of interlocking personal dramas was directed by Fernando Meirelles (鈥淐ity of God鈥) and written by Peter Morgan (鈥淭he Queen,鈥 鈥Frost/Nixon鈥). It stars Jude Law, Rachel Weisz, Anthony Hopkins, and Ben Foster and features a talented cast of international notables, including Maria Flor and Lucia Siposova.

What a letdown.

Morgan is a wonderful writer when he鈥檚 working from the headlines, but his 鈥減ersonal鈥 movies, like 鈥淗ereafter鈥 and this one, release a bleary, pseudo-profound aspect of his talent that鈥檚 best left in the dark. 鈥360鈥 takes us all over the world, from London to Rio, and yet never achieves liftoff. Grade: C- (Rated R for sexuality, nudity and language.)
