Wicker Park

Josh Hartnett does his best wounded puppy-dog impression in this feeble attempt at a Hitchcock-type thriller. The plot basically wraps around a young businessman (Hartnett) who thinks he sees his old girlfriend, Lisa (Diane Kruger of Troy), in a restaurant and starts hunting for her. Along the way, he meets up with and beds another girl named Lisa (Rose Byrne, also of Troy) who has many, many secrets. The plot, which rewinds and fast forwards all over the place, is completely inane. Hartnett’s character is so ineffective at simply locating a person he wants to find that the process of his search is frustrating rather than clever. The fact that he commits multiple criminal acts while searching for Lisa makes him a total waste of a character and unsympathetic. By the time the end of the film rolls around, one could care less because this guy doesn’t deserve a used Motley Crue groupie, let alone the love of his life. Stupid and pointless.
