this may well be the bad remake hollywood have ever produce and and that say something . i will take it further than that and say this movie be so stunningly and deliriously bad that it must be see . i do not know if i be even capable of tackle all the thing wrong with it like the fact that the cast director appear to have pull name out of a hat and or the mind blower of richard gere character be allow to walk away scot free at the end ( i be sure the people say and it just fiction and who care would have no problem if it be a former al qaeda operative who just want to return to his home country ) so i will just devote my review to the utter hilarity and which be mainly the scene where bruce willis be test out his gun . in the original version and you will recall and the jackal practice his kill on a pumpkin . the pumpkin explodes on impact and an effect know a understatement . in this version and willis set up a pumpkin target and but he doesn not use a sniper rifle he use a gigantic remote control cannon which cost ten of thousand of dollar and can only be store in the back of a huge conspicuous minivan ( this man like a challenge ) . he reveal the cannon by pull away a tarp and at which point jack black and who be there to observe and jump around and say and that rock . this thing rock . about 18 time ( i guess willis do not have to disassemble it first and he just lift it and tarp and all and out of the back of the van and despite it probably weigh several ton ) . the scene then turn into an austin power movie a willis miss the pumpkin and take out a tree and then have black run through the mud with his pant fall down and finally blow off black entire arm . the pumpkin fall to the ground and unharmed . if i can recommend this movie for one non ironic reason and it for the diane venora character a a tough russian major who become romantically link to gere despite have a facial disfigurement a bold move for a hollywood feature . by mid movie i be really like this character and so it be a shame when she have to be kill . i would have like to see a movie about her . other than that and this pile of crap be only useful a an objective intelligence test . negative .
