Terrible cookie cutter waste of time

Rating: 1/10 (6 July 2005)

The cookie cutter script itself has become so clichéd that you'd think most studios would avoid it. But alas, it supposedly will sell tickets. Studios assume the general public is stupid, so movies like this get made. The lead female who is in a very important position of authority, is also super hot and could be a model if she wanted, of course, unlike real life. There's the miscast side kick who utters terribly forced lines that are not funny, nor original and of course Nic Cage, who's here only for a paycheck.
Big name studios simply pull out the big budget template, change the names and locations and fill in little details here and there have a "new" movie. This movie was so amazingly unbelievable (so many things conveniently occur or are allowed to happen) and poorly written (the forefathers somehow were able to create images on the back of the Constitution with material that was probably only available in the last 20 years), I'm saddened that it made money. Maybe the general public isn't that bright...
