stinker of the summer... and long too

Rating: 2/10 (25 May 2001)

paper-thin characters, plot alternately silly and cookie-cutter, narcisistic slow-mos, ridiculous closeups, jittery action... the effects are ok but not worth 3 hours!
did I mention the jingoism? the weepy tie-a-yellow-ribbon sentimentality? the laughable speeches about American heroism?
avoid avoid avoid avoid!
