The Biggest Waste of Talent in Movie History

Rating: 2/10 (16 March 2007)

This movie stunned me. I sat watching it like a slack-jawed idiot, mouth agape, eyes transfixed on this colossal train wreck of a film. It must be the biggest waste of talent in the history of filmaking. The cast (other than Ben Affleck and Michael Clarke Duncan) are decent. Even Bruce Willis can be good once in a while (Pulp Fiction, 12 Monkeys). But, this whole movie is just a big formulaic, predictable, melodramatic turd. How can a movie that was this expensive to make with a massive special effects budget and all these talented actors be SO utterly boring and just plain bad? It is so very, very BAD. It must be the Michael Bay touch. He has to be the worst American director of his generation. He is to America what Uwe Boll is to Retardland or wherever the hell he comes from. I've got a great idea! An action-horror film directed by Bay and Boll! It would star Steven Seagal and Sandra Bullock with Whoopi Goldberg as the comedic relief! It would be based on Grand Theft Auto and Donkey Kong where two hard-nosed cops have to fight off a mutant gorilla that attacks Florida!
