Rating: 1/10 (24 October 2007)

This doesn't really need another comment, but I have to do my bit to balance all those 9 and 10 ratings on the first couple of pages.
This film is cast-iron proof that Gollywood really thinks that if you throw enough guns and explosions at the screen, you can forget about putting any other sort of content in it.
This is not in any way a "Die Hard" story, I believe the main character was changed to John McClane, because they had to make another Die Hard before Bruce gets too old.
I suspect there might be a secret "Cliché Action Movie for Dummies" book out there somewhere. And it was followed to the letter to make this turkey. Especially the chapters on "Enemy of the State" and "Independence Day".
Bad science, ludicrous computers, plot holes that could swallow suns, stereotypes galore. Movies don't get any more formulaic than this one. And it's obvious they know this; why else would it be released to DVD so soon? So they can cash in before everybody wakes up.
So, if you have the opportunity to not see this, I strongly advise that you take it. Especially don't fork over any money for this drivel, they might get the impression you liked it and want them to make more.
Sadly, there are lots of movie-going automata who robotically line up to watch steamers like this, because other automata have told them it's really good.
Shame on you, Bruce, you could have held out for something that did justice to the original.
