For me, it's Go. I expected to like it, because everyone I know likes it and I was interested in the subject matter (it's about twentysomethings dancing at raves and partying in Vegas, and its soundtrack consists of techno and electronica music, which I listen to). So I rented it, and I must say it's been a while since I've been this irritated by a movie.

(Mild spoilers in this paragraph.) I didn't care for most of the characters, and in particular I wanted to see Simon die. And some of the scenes were the kind of outright unrealistic, ludicrous idiocy I'd expect in some cheesy action flick/TV show. For example, in one scene a monster SUV plows into the side of an old, flimsy-looking car, and not only are the car's occupants not killed, but they keep driving.

And no, I'm not impressed by the film's use of alternate perspectives of the same scene, which I'm sure both Tarantino and Akira Kurosawa do much better and without annoying me the way this obnoxiously pretentious POS did.

(edited to fix the link)
