Unspeakably foul

Rating: 1/10 (24 May 2005)

The most contrived piece of crap to come down the pike in a long time--premise, plot, dialog, you name it. It's as if every hackneyed "cops-'n'-robbers" thematic device ever conceived was tossed into a hat, then plucked out and patched in helter-skelter--I don't think a single one was missed...and that's just in the first fifteen minutes.
And "Castor and Pollux Troy"? What the hell were the writers thinking? Or more to the point, what were they smoking
The most amazing thing is that this celluloid dungpile seems to have been well-received! If IMDb's "Viewers' Reviews" is to be believed, that is. Oh, well; I guess if nothing else, Woo's re-established the old Menckenian axiom: "No one ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American people".
