awful

i am a great fan of Eliza Dushku, i really am, cause she is pretty, funny, sexy, and everything, and she was the only reason i've watched this catastrophe. i was suffering, and by the end of the film, in the last 20-25 minutes i was holding my hands up, so i couldn't see the short hair woman, because she was so ugly. watching this film, i realized only women with long hair are feminine. this ugly woman with her big fake smile, and blank face, dreadful body, i cannot understand why would anyone ever pick her.. i can only imagine her in black lack suit, holding a whip.. the story was so boring to, and it had no sense at all ( why would anyone give everything he owned to a woman he met like 3 days ago ) also, the book the story was about, should have been a brilliant story, so we ( the viewers ) could understand why they wanted it so bad, but the story was a big nothing :( poor Eliza, i wonder why she agreed doing this film.. and again.. what is someone sympathetic played the main role? maybe then i could have enjoyed this film..
