Brainless Tosh!

Rating: 1/10 (15 September 2007)

Brainless is one word to describe this movie. Tosh is another. Put 'em both together and you've just about covered it.
Seldom can so much money have been thrown at such a stinker. Why was the script so bad, the dialog so dreadful, the characters so cringe-worthy? Why??? Action movies don't have to be brainless - it's not a prerequisite component. So why was the script so dire?
As a poor excuse for said script what we get is a load of jingoistic, hyper-macho chest-beating rhetoric played out by a bunch of toy soldiers. Women consigned to damsel in distress roles - or undressed roles, if we take Will Smith's Stripper Bride(!)into account. And the only gay character - a complete cartoon nelly who flaps about to illustrate panic - ends up trapped in his car awaiting certain death after issuing his last "comic" line. Oh, puh-leeze!
This film stinks. It stinks! The End.
