What was the point?

Rating: Null/10 (3 September 1999)

All I have to say is, what was the point of making this film??? All it was was two hours of wasted celluloid. This story should have stayed in the pages of the novel. Don't get me wrong, I like Antonio, but he alone could not save this film. And how the hell did the man who created two of the greatest action films of the 80's and perhaps all time (Predator and Die Hard), John McTiernan, get involved with such a piece of hot, steamy doggy doo? Some things just don't make sense. All in all, the film made no sense, I had no sympathy for the characters, the climax was weak and the acting wasn't all that great. The only good things I can say existed in the movie were the battle scenes (those weren't even that good) and Jerry Goldsmiths' score (best part of the movie). In short: save your nine bucks and watch paint dry instead. Thats a bit more entertaining.
