I hate Hollywood.

Rating: 7/10 (20 January 2003)

I give this movie a disappointed 8. (Update: On reflection, I changed it to a 7.)
It should by all rights have been a 10, but there is no film so promising that Hollywood hacks can't screw it up by adding a little moronic "comic" relief (here, courtesy of one of Hollywood's favorite "comic" relief elements: Dumb Cops).
Look, Hollywood idiots, if your "humor" stems from the fact that characters are not behaving in ways any human being would ever behave, then it's really not funny in any way that matters, and it serves mainly to remind the viewer that he or she is watching a movie.
When you've got a good thing, why would you go and blow it like that?
