Snoozing through war

Rating: Null/10 (10 November 2003)

This movie is a disaster. What it lacks in plot or even a decent script it tries to make up for in crashing, banging, whooshing, flying, dropping, spinning, blinking blinding bright lighting, thuds and - you get the picture. If it didn't have a beautiful multiracial cast I would give it a zero. As it was I shut my eyes to avoid the seemingly unending wartime strobe effects. The noise was constant and the fights were much too lengthy. Enough already! After the first fifteen unpromising minutes this movie provoked nearly nonstop daydreaming and then yawning and finally a bout of planning my week, planning the month, and working out a budget. The costumes are good and Keanu is fine. Do not waste your money on this terrible movie.
