Can anybody ever come up with a good screenplay?
|
Although there are a few good scenes to keep you interested, much of the screenplay is hard to believe and a lot of the dialogue is typical Hollywood hype. Halle Berry is actually one of the best acted roles in this otherwise overblown terrorist saga; the terrorists are more believable than the stars.
The roles of Oliver Platt, John Lequizamo and Joe Morton are poorly written, with the honors of stupid lines being attributed to Lequizamo. I'm not sure what possesses people to like his over the top portrayals. He always plays his roles as if he is the most important one in the film. Didn't he ever hear of subtlety?
Oliver Platt, another throw-away part given absurd lines, the same for poor Joe Morton, an actor who deserves more than he is usually given. He plays solid supporting parts, but here his part is ridiculous.
As for the planting of the bomb on Morton and the various efforts to defuse it, all ridiculous. Can't they ever think of something that makes sense. It's like watching an episode of "24".
Kurt Russell, a good actor whose movies are never "A" efforts. So much sweat and strain over so little.
The film is basically a Jerry Bruckheimer epic, have you ever seen ConAir?
Similar in their ethos and forgettable in their presentation. As I said, Halle Berry actually was convincing in her role and the terrorists would be the only reason to see the film. It is typical Hollywood all the way. |
