I HATED this movie

Rating: 8/10 (8 July 2000)

I hated, hated, HATED this movie. It was terrible. The plot was bad. "Oh, gee. Let's send up OIL DRILLERS with 3 weeks training, instead of PROFESSIONALS with YEARS of training." It's another example of good effects landing in bad movies (The Matrix, Gladiator {crowd scenes}, etc...). Ben Affleck (who was rather good in Reindeer Game) gives an awful action performance in this movie. The romance was terrible. Liv Taylor and Affleck have absolutely NO chemistry. And this is also another of example of great stars landing in bad movies (Once again, The Matrix {Laurence Fishbourne}, Gladiator {Russell Crowe}, Idle Hands {Vanessa L. Williams}, etc...). Bruce Willis is a terrific actor. If you want to see him in a good movie, rent The Sixth Sense or Die Hard. Just steer clear of this terrible excuse for an action movie. 1/2 out of ****
Note: I name this: Worst Movie of 1998.
Second Note: If you want to see a good "end of the world" movie, catch Deep Impact.
