High-production value dreck

Given that the US market is so much bigger and thus the financial rewards are so much greater, Hollywood has far greater resources for producing films. So it is a shame that it cannot produce far better films than this. Forget the gaping holes in a plot which seems to have been cobbled together by the cast-offs of the B team and the melodramatic direction and you have a visually sumptuous looking movie with high production values. So why waste all the talent which has gone into making this film on dumb garbage? Dean Stockwell hams it up opposite a wannabe Harrison Ford in a story the makes absolutely no sense with the now obligatory intelligent and humane black character to satisfy the PCs. I have better things to do with my time.
