Loaded Down With Blanks.

Rating: Null/10 (28 June 2007)

Exiled sharpshooter Mark Wahlberg is coaxed back into service by suspicious U.S. government men Danny Glover and Ned Beatty who supposedly know of a plot to assassinate the president. Naturally, Wahlberg comes back to what he knows, gets double-crossed with blatant plot twists, and spends the rest of the time running around trying to clear his name and bring the real bad guys to justice. Insomnia curing bitter pill that is short on brains and almost as short on realistic action. Director Antoine Fuqua continues to look for achievement on par with his Oscar-winning "Training Day", but continues to lay enormous cinematic goose eggs. Up-and-coming performers Michael Pena and Kate Mara round out a good cast which has absolutely nothing to work with. 2 stars out of 5.
