At least it didn't cost me anything

Rating: 1/10 (10 March 1999)

Imagine if you've assembled a great cast (Willis, Affleck, Thornton, Tyler, Buscemi) and this movie was the best your ten writers (ten writers ?!?) could cough up. Here's a plot summary for you: A misfit gang of oil rig workers (oil rig workers ?!?) is tapped by NASA to save the world from a giant asteroid. Sounds great, doesn't it?
After the obligatory shots of New York City getting blown to bits (Is this scene ever mentioned during the rest of the movie? Seems like a pretty big news event), the rest of the movie is a fill-in-the-blanks, paint-by-number, thank god we survived that - OH MY GOD LOOK OUT!!!, disaster flick
See Bruce Willis as the stubborn, veteran oil worker who hates the young, cocky, but born to be an oil rig worker Affleck, who is in love with the beautiful flower Tyler who of course is the daughter of (guess who?) Willis! I'd go on but I would hate to spoil the surprise ending. See this movie (or better yet, don't) only with the "free" half of your "Rent one get one free" coupon.
