"Why couldn't you put the bunny back in the box?!"

Rating: 4/10 (28 December 2008)

I wish they could put this movie back in the box. This was a very crude and offensive movie. I watched it on TNT and even with some of the cuss words bleeped out, this movie obviously has to have used the f-word more than any other movie. I guess some film makers equate crude language with what makes a good action flick. There is also quite a few uses of the N-word as well.
My other complaint is Nicholas Cage's horrendous southern accent. Being from the south, I don't think I have ever heard a more fake and overdone accent. I don't think anyone has talked that brand of southern accent since the Civil War. They could have easily made him from somewhere else in the U.S. without negatively impacting the story one bit. It would have been much better to have him in a believable speaking voice than a ridiculous one.
Also, what was with the music?! I thought the electronic, synthesized background music went out with the 80's (a la "Top Gun"). Yet this movie was made in 1997? For such a high budget film, you think they could have spent a little more on the music. Or maybe they spent ALL the money on stunts, explosions and special effects and couldn't afford to hire a decent music composer. It was the same ridiculous music throughout the whole movie.
