ABSOLUTE POWER: 3

Absolute Flop! A real slow starter, it dragged on laying a foundation. Then it only went down from there. Plot was choppy and had its share of holes. Every time I thought it just might be starting to take off, ooops, I blinked and it slowed back down again. Except for the couple of unexpected comical reliefs, I really had to fight to stay awake; I'm not sure I made the best choice.
