Too Much - Give It A Rest!

Rating: 5/10 (14 November 2006)

Here's another example of a modern-day action film that has TOO MUCH action, just bombarding the viewer to the point where one is actually longing for some lulls because they are so desperately needed. I like a good action movie, but almost everything in here was overdone.
It has a good male cast with Sean Connery, Nicholas Cage, Ed Harrris, David Morse, William Forysthe and more, and some spectacular action scenes.....but it's just too intense for too long. Also, about 20 blatant abuses of Lord's name in vain didn't make it attractive for me, either. Who do the script-writes have doing the blasphemy: the supposed "good guys," the government agents and bigwigs. Of course, in Hollywood the cops are usually the bad guys and the crooks are the heroes.
If you like mindless action, and very little credibility - especially in the last 30 minutes - this movie is for you.
