What prompted these two quality actors to star in this dog$hit movie? George C Scott gave a towering performance as General George Patton, he even won an Oscar. Martin Sheen starred in two classic movies in the 70s , Badlands and Apocalypse Now. To see these men in such a dire product is heartbreaking.
