Awful

Rating: 1/10 (5 November 2004)

This has to be one of the worst films I have ever seen. It was also an in-flight movie which made the experience equally as awful. Catherine Zeta-Jones was wasted in this film and as for Tom Hanks he was completely mis-cast and his performance more embarrassing than anything else. Very poor.
I was surprised that Steven Spielberg could commission such a poor script and content. The dialogue was totally banal. Overall then a 1 out of 10 for trying but it never recovers. Why did Tom Hanks character have to come from a dodgy Ex-Soviet state? THe stereotyping of the fake soviet country shown was cringeworthy stuff, haven't we seen too much Soviet War torn country stuff in the James Bond Films in the 1980s?
