What a crock!

Rating: 1/10 (13 April 1999)

"Deep Impact" was bad enough, but compared to this it's a masterpiece of subtlety and artistry. I like to be entertained at movies as much as the next guy, and I like action movies too. But this bombastic, blow-hard insult to one's intelligence is sheer crud from its opening minutes on. The script is complete drivel, and this is a classic example of piling on the special effects and noise and hoping no one notices how abysmal the writing is. Bruce Willis has never been more obnoxious, and Liv Tyler gives the year's most insipid performance. I'd like to give an award to anyone who can relate the plot of this film with any coherence while managing to keep a straight face!
