Laughable but fun. Sort of. Hmm.. is 'fun' too strong?

Rating: 5/10 (31 October 2008)

This is a movie that falls firmly into the category of '(Quite (Not Very)) Entertaining Garbage'. It might have had something going for it if we hadn't seen The Matrix ... all those years ago. But what the hell, put your mind on 'coast' and sit back for a (kinda) fun hour-and-a-half you'll never get back. For me the inclusion of the name 'Angelina Jolie' in a cast list is a near-guarantee of poor quality. On the other hand, 'Morgan Freeman' usually has the opposite effect. Maybe Morgan is saving up for his divorce or somebody's been stepping on his chlorpromazine, but either way his presence is something of a mystery. I can understand how films like this get made I just don't know why. Maybe it's because we're alone in an endless, silent, eternal emptiness - an emptiness we try to fill any way we can... oh now I think someone's been stepping on m y chlorpromazine
