The first movie I have seen that does not improve on the sight of a blank screen viewed for the same length of time.

Easily the worst movie with the best cast. I mean the cast is incredible. And the basic premise (gangsters trying to knock each other off for control) should work. But... wow. The movie makes NO sense. The dialogue is so bad you wince. Most of the acting is terrible. One of those turkeys you watch once to experience the awfulness, then never watch it again.
