There is no future without ammo.

Rating: 5/10 (15 November 2005)

I find a lot of the comments and flubs mere coincidence compared to the major accidents of intentional filmography and story telling. I have several major arguments with this film, as with many adventure films. How can so many rounds of ammo be fired by alleged professionals and no one gets hit? Why do they throw away expensive gun magazines and guns that run out of ammo, as if it's an old head of cabbage? And, most of all, where do these slim robots carry all the fuel to fly, and all the ammo to fire continuously for 30 seconds? There is never any sign of a fuel tank nor ballistic cache. Will Hollywood please employ an engineer to design these devices instead of an SFX jockey; or worse, a director. As an actor of 35 years, I can faithfully tell you that directors make actors do really stupid things we cannot control unless wealthy enough to have point options. Even Liam Neeson, one of the greatest actors of the 21st century, has a hard time battling directors. Those who get their way: Sharon Stone (on the outs), Julia Roberts (considered mostly bi-polar), Dustin Hoffman (with no debate, he commands), Jeff Goldblum (ad-libbing since inception and basically playing the same Dustin Hoffman/Robert Blake "Let me try to throw the other actor in the scene off balance so that I look great" garbage -- Will Smith beat him in ID4). I can't tell you how many times that kind of sufferage has been pulled on me by another actor/actress. Jeff Goldblume deserves a kick-in-the-crotch lifetime award. Dustin Hoffman deserves a one-man show award. Really. Any performance the man has ever done was a one-man show and he needs to stop harasing the entertainment industry with his single-minded self hero worship. I tell you...; Robert Downey Jr is better than every actor. Truthfully. Drunk, stoned on crack, and a week without sleep, he is better than them all. Why do you think he keeps getting stoned? No challenge.
