Not The Best

Rating: Null/10 (14 April 2000)

So it's not the best-written movie; it's got plot-holes, factual errors, lots of little goofs and things that we know just won't happen, like fire without oxygen.... and I REALLY disliked that Animal Cracker Scene (if you had, for all you knew, one last evening to spend with the love of your life, would you be playing with animal crackers?).... HOWEVER.... I have to admit, I just really enjoyed the movie. I always like Bruce Willis' witty repartee (yes, I know that's a redundant statement). He always seems to play some kind of cowboy with a smart-ass remark for everything, but to me, his lines seem less contrived in action movies than say, someone like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Enough about that. I liked the dialogue. I liked all the action. I liked seeing things get blown up. Even though I pretty much knew what was going to happen, there were still a lot of suspenseful scenes. So, yes, it was another "America Saves the World" plot, but dagnabbit, I'm an American, and I thought it was a lot of fun. :-)
