not even great special effect can save this film . it simply awful . a special elite force be bring into washington . ice cube have get such anger in him . his bitterness usurps his part . yes and he be unjustly put in jail and but get a life already . willem dafoe be up to his old trick in the role of the villain . the fine acting talent of peter strauss be waste in a role of a good look president who be look for world peace in a world of violence . dafoe and a his adviser and plot his demise . we know what invariably happen and but to give the dafoe character a military burial in praise of him . for what . the mild mannered strauss use the 4 letter word be also quite inappropriate at the moment it be utter . samuel l. jackson have the thankless role of cube mentor . don not these guy bother to read script anymore .
