very rarely do you see a film with this high of a budget be unilaterally bad and imagine ed wood with more money and far less charm . imagine the stupid scene in independence day couple with the bad of michael bay film and you really do not get close to how bad this film be . everyone involve in this project be do the bad thing they have ever do . this include john travolta who be also in stay alive and two of a kind and swordfish and which be comparative masterpiece . the cinematography ( though no evidence exist to suggest that camera weren not hold by blind ape who point towards wherever noise be come from ) be consistently awful . the cript be bad enough to make george lucas look as subtle a tarkovsky and take for example represent chirk represent i be go to make you as happy a a baby psychlo on a straight diet of kerbango . the acting and consider the fairly accomplished people involve be laughably hammy . barry pepper and forest whittaker ( though behind the make up you can not really tell ) be both lucky to have make this film and not subsequently be relegate to make soft core porn and reality tv . fill with plot hole and poor special effect and bad acting and bad writing and no direction and a soundtrack that would annoy deaf people and this film have less artistic merit than a theoretical snuff movie write by joe eszterhas and direct by uwe boll and star brendan fraser . truly and utterly abhorrent .
