A waste of time, resources and Rufus Sewell

Rating: 1/10 (2 October 2013)

A mindnumbingly insulting concept and terminally boring execution. A snoozefest. How they managed that with the gorgeous Rufus Sewell, I don't know (obviously, they made poor use of him). The folks who thought this was a good flick apparently don't care how dumb the script or the concept get as long as they get their action scenes. At least I didn't waste money on this at the theater -- but I did have to sit through it when it played on HBO and I lost control of the remote. AAAAAGH! I felt like I was losing IQ points just having it on.
Sewell is the only guy in this film who put a decent amount of effort into his acting, and he was sadly wasted here (I hope they paid him a bundle for this, because he sure can't put it into his portfolio of hits). In revenge and to clear my mental palate, I made my TV companion watch Dangerous Beauty with me the moment this abortion ended (Beauty is not only a much better film, but Sewell got a much better role).
If I could give this loser a ZERO, I would, because it deserves that. Don't bother with this unless you really prefer being mindless (and in that case, don't brag about it).
