Bay & Bruckheimer, 2 reasons for the apocalypse

Rating: Null/10 (15 March 2004)

This is absolutely more of the summer drivel machine that Bruckheimer represents. Uninspired writing and actors looking to collect a paycheck. The soundtrack driven by bad Aerosmith songs can't help either. Bruce Willis and Liv Tyler's father/daughter chemistry is pathetic, and Ben Affleck actually seems to be taking his role seriously. That should scare you more than anything else. Worse even still is the fact that this Bruckheimer production seem to have Steve Buscemi(a fine underappreciated actor in his own right) playing the same role as he did in Con-Air. You get the underlying feeling everyone is in this for the face-time and the money. Don't waste your time because even the special effects aren't worth it.
