Stupid

Rating: 4/10 (7 August 2011)

A cop is having a bad day, having to deal first with an elevator booby-trapped with a bomb, then a bus, and finally a train. Apparently the filmmakers were saving an airplane for the sequel. It starts off stupid and gets stupider as it goes along. The script is mind-numbingly idiotic and doesn't know when to call it a day. The direction is so incompetent that De Bont should have been forced to go back to his day job of cinematographer. Reeves is OK as an action hero but looks lost if he has to flex any acting muscles, such as the scenes where he tries to show anger. Bullock is given little to do except look cute, which she manages quite well. Hopper is a shameless ham.
