Thank You For Smoking - 2005 *

For a film with such a good cast (oh and look, there's Katie Holmes again equally as riveting) this was a surprisingly bad film. A bit like 'I Heart Huckabees' which I hated, this was a mess of a film, with Aaron Eckhart trying to be everything he wasn't. He works for the tobacco industry and the whole film is based around him trying to make out that tobacco is good for the nation. He comes up with numbers and statistics to show that this is the case and even goes on talk shows head to head with Lung Cancer specialists etc, so confident is he that his choice is correct. In my opinion (as a non-smoker) a pointless and uninteresting film. Even smokers will be bored.
