In addition to the narrative fail I addressed in my earlier post, and other issues that I'm sure will come up in comments, The Orphan also was an insult to my intellect and taste. Even if it hadn't been ethically objectionable, it would have sucked as a thriller. It was like someone put every thriller that's been made in the last decade into a Derivative Device and spat out a big hunk of Hackneyed Hamburger.
What's the last movie you saw that was just garbage, just terribly made, regardless of its ideology?
