“You have to stop thinking.”
-Ella Swenson (Wilde)
It seemed like a novelty movie. I figured, best case scenario: it would be about as good as Snakes on a Plane.
Speaking of snakes.
Daniel Craig’s wrist, that looks familiar. And you are correct, I was looking for an excuse to watch Escape from LA.
It would be a waste of time to explain the plot, because there isn't one.
Harrison Ford plays a caricature of his other characters. He just kind of showed up for a paycheck, and nothing more.
Paul Dano (There Will Be Blood), plays his good-for-nothing, spoiled son.
This conversation between Harrison Ford and Eli Dano takes place toward the end.
Don’tcha remember me boy?
I’m sorry I don’t remember much.
I’m your father.
Oh Pa!
This movie ends like an episode of Bonanza.
This movie was good for about forty minutes; from there, it made no sense at all. And that is the worst kind of movie: one that picks you up, just to let you down.
Final Verdict: 15 out of 100
