a complete waste of time

Rating: 2/10 (19 January 2008)

Well, in a nutshell, this movie is not worth a penny, or your time. I could not believe that such lousy acting, such lack of any logic (except the logic known just to story writer) and such a waste of otherwise good actors would be possible, but it was, nevertheless. The premise of the story is boring, the execution and script is boring, the actors (notable exceptions here are Harvey Keitel and Ed Harris) are acting without any drive or inspiration... just awful. If you want movie entertainment, go watch something else. How can anyone believe there is a city of gold located there? How could the President act like he did in the movie? Such blatant attempt to make the President look noble and friendly is straight lousy, and of course impossible. No one with common sense would fall for that one. I honestly do not know why such good actors like Ed Harris, Harvey Keitel and Jon Voight have accepted this movie. First movie was entertaining, and contained some good moments. Here, my feeling is that all actors wanted to get it over with as soon as possible and run away as far as they can. Of course, in a typical American way, the brand new (and good) cars are wrecked for the movie, it has to be a Mercedes, or some other car of value. Such a waste...
Avoid at all costs.
