Movie 2010.10.09 - Flashbacks of a Fool

Some people might like this movie, but not me. It's long and tedious and simple. In this movie, the fool is a washed-out movie star played by Daniel Craig. After being dumped by his agent, he takes a swim in the sea and has this super-long flashback.

When he was a teenager, he was seduced by his sexy neighbor - a mum with a little daughter. While they were in bed, the little girl was playing with a live mine on the beach, and got blown up. Joe blames himself for her death and skips town. Now he comes back, three days late for his best friend's funeral. What's interesting is that the widow used to be his crush. He was supposed to have his first date with her, but he was late, as he was in bed with the yummy mummy and he showed up full of love bites.

Back in his mansion, he writes a check to the widow, and starts to rebuild his career anew.
