The Final Cut

** - This is one heck of an aimless and meandering film. The premise (people having implants put in their heads at birth that record everything that they see in their lives) is kind of okay, but the pace is slow, the acting is shoddy and the storytelling is so convoluted that it can’t maintain any sort of interest. Robin Williams is marginally watchable as the lead, but everybody else was either awful or incoherent, especially Mira Sorvino and Jim Caviezel (fashioning an even less convincing beard than the one he had when he played Jesus). People popped in and out of the story at random and plot threads were introduced and dropped at will. This had the feeling of a film in which the writers thought they were making some grand statement that will be taken to heart by audience members and have life-changing ramifications. Unfortunately, it was just boring.
