Overblown Hollywood

Rating: 5/10 (8 January 2006)

So it had a big budget...big friggen deal.
So it had name stars...big friggen deal.
It was overblown and over-done far more extreme than it had to be.
Yes, there were parts were were interesting...the electronic gear was pretty cool.
The dining scene in the house was written well and played good.
The stove which opened into a safe was interesting.
Does this all compensate for another viewer let down? Does Vince Vaughn's character have to be so aggravating? Does Angelina's character have to be so perfect? Yes, I think she had the best dialog, and it clearly was constructed around her...but as beautiful as she is...and she is very....it still was overdone.
I would have liked this much more if all the Hollywood explosion type effects and over done attitude was wiped out and it was cut down to a smaller scale.
Maybe on the second one it will be.
...and you got to be close to certain, there will be a second one...in something like this, there always is.
At least it kept people in the film industry employed.
Do I recommend it to people? Just for those that are mindless drones...fueled by Hollywood Propaganda.
