star studded clunker

Rating: 5/10 (21 November 2009)

We should always be careful of our choices in life- friends, spouses, careers, movies. To be fair, I wouldn't have chosen this movie. Neither should John Cusack or Danny Glover. Hard to say no to the easy cheese, though. Big budget action film with amazing special effects. Three Hours (almost) of special effects and action. Edge-of-your-seat suspense. Yeah, lots of really cool special effects. I found myself bored after an hour and a half, after about the fifteenth nick-of-time escape from explosions and collapsing buildings. Yeah, it's an action movie, so don't expect thoughtful dialog or scientific accuracy. Did I mention the special effects?
