Dec 23, 2014ManMachine rated this title 1 out of 5 stars
Initially I was all set to rate this $100 million production from 2014 with 3 stars (which I thought, at first, was an OK reboot of the $13 million original from 1987). But that was before character, Pat Novak, the black, TV-news mouthpiece came on screen (just prior to the film's final credits) and made his pigheaded, little, American, flag-waving speech. With the demented passion of a total fanatic, Novak excitedly exclaimed that (and I quote) "America is, and always will be, the greatest country on the face of this Earth!" (end of quote) Of course, Novak had nothing to back up this blindly arrogant statement with facts, but once those words came out of his candy-ass mouth, that was enough for me to reduce my rating of this truly forgettable piece of Yankee propaganda-junk to just 1 star. I don't know about you, but, I, for one, not being American, do not appreciate having the likes of those bullying, hypocritical imperialists, who reside below our border, rubbing their conceited, ego-centric attitudes into my face in this manner. As far as I'm concerned - If the snot-nosed producers of this so-so action film want me to believe such a high'n'mighty statement as the one made above, then they're certainly gonna have to start proving it to me through their actions and through the calibre of the movies that they relentlessly churn out like fodder for the brain-dead.
