    Wasted talents
    I just saw "The liquidator". I think it is one of Rod´s worst pictures.

    There is a funny and promising beginning but after ten or fifteen minutes it only is boring. Rod is fun to watch but his character is badly developed.

    The rest of the movie is very weak. That is a pity because there are talented actors in it, a capable director and a nice basic idea.
