The horror - the horror

Rating: 1/10 (13 March 2002)

This movie is definitely on my top 10 of the worst movies of all time. The beginning says it all - Bruce Willis is the "master-driller" who is now working on an oilrig. He is not an educated astronaut, yet he is naturally chosen to an assignment in space. ?? He then finally agrees to do the one last job. We have seen this in a hundred bad karate movies and in a hundred bad crime-movies. The hero who finally agrees to go on the last mission. Sometimes cliche's are OK. But here it all turns parodic, because all the cliches are taken so seriously. Do yourself a favour: read Roger Ebert's review in the Chicago Times. He says it all much better than me.
