Massacred by John Lee Hancock

Rating: 3/10 (11 April 2004)

Once word of mouth goes out, this film will sink like a stone. Ninety million for this ? It will be lucky to hit the 40 million mark.
Hancock butchers this "film". But then again, what has he done that was in any way memorable ? Put in by Disney management - a group catering to the lowest common denominator so not to offend anyone or anything.
Quick reveiw: NO drama ! NO tension ! NO emotion ! NO passion ! Pacing and story-line - juvenile ! Editing - atrocious ! One never identitfies with any of the major participants ! Apart from Thornton & actor portraying Juan Sequin, I had no empathy for any of the characters. Wilson - wooden / Patric - phoned in his performance. Quaid - weak. And I actually like most of these fine actors but the Alamo was not theirs. I never felt any part of this movie. Too bad - the subject had so much potential but lost the key ingredient - having the audience give a hoot which is essentially a director's responsibility.
