botched

Rating: 4/10 (9 April 2000)

The movie starts out, implausibly enough, with Tommy Lee Jones and Samuel L. Jackson in Vietnam, looking exactly the same as they will when we are taken to the late 90s. A hat can not make the rugged, aged face of Mr. Jones look like a 20-some year old kid in the bush. And frankly, that was just the beginning of things that didn't add up in this film. It's a shame that so talented a cast is given such middling fare.
There were plot holes, dull characters, occasional bad dubs, a poorly done digitally masked missing leg, and an overall sense of artificiality in this film. If you're a fan of any of the actors, wait for it to come out on video, or better, broadcast TV.
