Shocker - truly terrible to the point of angering me

Rating: 1/10 (16 August 2006)

A completely cheesy and awful film that insults the intelligence of the viewer. Its a blot on the curriculum vitae's of actors like Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum and Bill Pullman. This is an example of the worst that America has to offer - gun-ho nonsense that can only appeal to the simplest of minds (and, I guess, kids). I'm not a movie snob - I love many action films - but this is pitiful. I don't mind 'taking my brain out' as part of the entertainment but this is unacceptable. There are some half-decent special effects and some amusing stuff from Will Smith but this falls way short of making up for a plot that is totally predictable and without any twist.
