Worst movie of the decade


Horrible acting, stupid story. Come on, the girl gets shot in the head, point blank, but survives with no noticeable damage? Cuba Gooding gets shot in the stomach at the end twice, but is able to still attack and kill the bad guy, walk to a car, drive to the hospital, etc?

I understand they shot it in Europe, but don't try to make it as if it's in America. There are obvious signs it's in Europe. You'd have to be a moron not to see it. The buildings have red tiles. At the end scene, what kind of prison looks like a European building with the square cement tiles in the courtyard, the rounded entry ways... I'm an American and can tell it isn't America. Even at the graveyard scene, you can see the huge, virgin growth forests, in America we cut them all down.

What's up with the Scottish badman, with his heavy accent? He came to the US from Scotland to be a criminal?

The worst thing is the stupid "backward" story. I had no idea what was going on for much of the movie, because things "unfold" in reverse. The whole movie I'm like "wait, how does he know this?" or "Wait, the the hell...how is that possible...?" and until the ends when things kind of straighten out.

Even the Cuba Gooding character himself, why is he even involved with the criminal gang? He isn't the kind of guy that would have anything to do with them.

Horrible, stupid movie.

I guess foreigners in the US are never criminals, huh?

Yeah...I totally agree with you also!

I thought it was awful as well.
