Aeon Flux (2005, USA)

Honestly, the less said, the better. As a teenager, I was a huge fan of the animated series, and though I had no high expecations for the movie . . . it could have at least been fun, right? Wasting a cast that includes Charlize Theron, Pete Postlethwaite, Frances McDormand, Johnny Lee Miller and Sophie Okonedo (surprisingly, Marton Csokas is the only one who emerges looking decent) on a badly-filmed, senseless movie such as this should be a crime, and director Karyn Kusama (Girlfight) may end up paying with her career. In retrospect, Theron should have been much more careful about her post-Oscar comments, as Halle Berry now has Theron's very own Catwoman to throw back in her face.
