Brings new meaning to the term, "wretched garbage".

Rating: 1/10 (26 June 2012)

Unbelievably bad film. Nicholas Cage's character is required to constantly defer to Connery as Sean never lets up with the subtle insulting put downs. He even punched Cage in the stomach and poor Nick had to double over as if he had been nailed by Mike Tyson. As usual, Sean pronounces all his "s's" as if they were an "sh", so I'm glad he didn't walk into a restaurant and ask if he could just sit anywhere. The scene where Cage has a car chase with a Ferrari was unbelievably badly directed and edited. It just seemed like a series of closeups of Cage's strained face and unrelated clips of cars in various positions. Cage shoots a huge missile point blank at one of the bad guys. Instead of going through him like a blowtorch through butter or just vaporizing him, it actually carries the guy around a hundred yards at about 30 mph before he slips off and becomes impaled on a fence. We hear him go, "aaahhh" as he falls. Unbelievably dumb. Then, a huge bomb explodes near Cage and he is blown hundreds of feet into the air and lands in the bay, face down, unconscious. Old man Connery naturally shwims to his reshcue and shaves him. Without any form of first aid performed by Connery, we see Cage running along the shoreline with his bald, white-bearded antagonist. Connery manages to insult Cage again as soon as he regains consciousness. Ed Harris was good as the villain. Other than that, trash.
