more flashy Hollywood garbage

Rating: Null/10 (18 May 1999)

I lost respect for Connery on the "f--- the prom queen" line. What was that? This film was full of the blockbuster trademarks: banal characters and terrible writing. It also took itself way too seriously. Con Air was much better for that fact alone. Con Air was almost satirical at times. What was that director thinking? The action sequences were very poor. If you like fast-paced editing watch a Peckinpah film.
