Stellar performances, still average movie: Closer

Superb star cast for a messed up love-hate movie.
Watch this movie only to see superb performances by Natalie Portman, Julia Roberts and Clive Owen.

It sails smoothly for the first half and then suddenly slips on a banana skin and lands flats on its arse (English accent is boring in it :P).
Its starts like a mature piece of art about relationships. Then suddenly I guess the director went nuts and missed the plot completely, ending the movie in a half baked, immature, foolish kind of climax and end.
I din't like it much, but had real fun watching a truly mesmerizing performance of Natalie Portman. She and Clive Owen put up a great show!

5 1/2 stars out of 10

Still recommended to people who think Twilight series is about love and romance. :P
