    Unmitigated Junk

    Ving Rhames as Kojak? Seriously?

    What kind of PC nonsense was that? Might as well cast Charlie Sheen as MLK. Or Samuel Jackson as Gandhi. Or some Swede as Geronimo.

    Look, Kojak was an ethnic Greek in a way that was integral to his character. It's just not believable. And the acting was sub par.

    This was yet another example of franchise poaching, whereby junk scripts are piled up until a time when the title and character names on one of them can be altered and it be pushed out there.
