"Morning in America" meets a GE ad meets "The Rock"

Rating: Null/10 (1 January 1999)

Some occasionally clever banter and excellent (!) special effects -- that's about it. Billy Bob Thornton was the best part of the cast. And then there's Bruckheimer and his patented schlock-machine: highly predictable story, corny, manipulative scenes trivializing trust, love, and bravery, ear-splitting noise, frenetic pace, assinine jingoism, music straight out of "The Rock". His music-video/GE-ad look is seen in "Flashdance", "Top Gun" (an abominable movie), and "The Rock" (good actors acting saved that one). Loud eye-candy.
