compare to this mind numbingly awful piece of dreck and the weak first film be a masterpiece . it be genuinely shock that hollywood be able to produce a film this utterly inept and mindless . the writing ( the screenplay be by simon kinberg and who somehow also write the excellent mr. and mrs. smith ) and act be dreadful not just from non actor like ice cube and but even from oscar nominee like willem dafoe and samuel l. jackson . the plot be incomprehensible and and the cgi be so poor that some of the action scene look like tron . the one redeeming feature be the fact that the film be frequently and unintentionally and laugh out loud hilarious . line like i need to speak to this man alive abound .
