Because this director?
I prefer Peter Hyams for this type of films...
shareActually this director makes some of the best 'so bad they're good' movies out there. Here he seemed to be pressured into making a serious movie to recoup costs rather than just making a fun movie, because this was just awful. It was clearly just a free trip to Australia for the actors and nothing more...
