Chaos (2003)

Throws itself forward into its contrived story with such velocity that it's only a matter of time before it blows itself apart; sad to say, the crime-drama-as-French-farce approach doesn't seem to have been a good idea. The film's casual tone precludes investment with the characters. By the time the film grinds to a halt to give us the longest sketching-in-the-narrative flashback since Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, I was mentally elsewhere.
