Maybe they should call it ?Alexander the Grating.?

The Oliver Stone-directed epic starring Colin Farrell doesn?t open until November 24, but Stone quietly screened it to some audiences this week ? and the early reaction seems to be a big thumbs down.

?This movie is a mess,? writes a reviewer on the movie site AintItCoolNews.com. ?According to Stone he just finished this film on Friday and, in my opinion, it looks like he rushed it out the door. . . . The story is incohesive, the acting is uninspired, and the whole look is incredibly pieced together.?

?I was stunned?and I say that without snarky irony ? stunned by how bad this movie was,? writes another. ?Overacting, bizarro camera work and frame tinting, lackluster battles. . . . God, it was just a mess.?

?The movie starts off being shot very traditionally then 2 hours into the movie Stone decides to start shooting this film like ?Natural Born Killers? with infra-red camera shots and scenes washed in red,? groused a reviewer on IMDB.com. ?Very strange and out of place.?

A few viewers did find something to like about the film: ?The Rosario Dawson nude scene will make you worship her,? writes one.

Stone has a lot riding on the epic pic ? which reportedly cost a staggering $150 million to make ? and a source says the director seemed uncharacteristically subdued when he was answering questions at a screening.
