Hack job

Rating: 1/10 (9 January 2005)

Hack job. Unnecessary use of hacking to create blood and gore. Poor imitation of a good movie - hack job. Political statements made throughout the movie in place of honest cinematic entertainment. Political hack job. What started out as a decent movie turned into an outlandish mishmash of anti-war, race-baiting, and even anti-Republican party garbage. (come on, chasing an elephant while yelling "no draft!" please.) Gee, if I really wanted to see a political piece, there are many choices of all persuasions out there. Not only that, but the movie seemed to lose it's focus a little more than halfway through. And once it started, it went quickly downhill. I had hoped to enjoy a good night's entertainment with my spouse, which actually happened but only because she and I had a spirited discussion about how this movie went down in flames after a somewhat promising start. What WAS the purpose of this movie, other than to make money and political points?
