A poor film, Jeff Goldblum saved what he could.

Rating: Null/10 (7 March 2003)

This film was okay, but fairly poor, despite fine acting and patriotic themes. My feelings against Will Smith (and his obvious ego) were solidified and even more so with Men in Black and its horrendous sequel. Smith was absurd as the war hero, Pullman was passable as the president (although I found his life-changing speech canned), but Jeff Goldblum, Judd Hirsch, and Randy Quaid's characters made the whole affair bearable. Watch it on TV if you must, but don't bother renting it.
