2004 - Rated PG-13 - 1 hr 53 min
Director: John Moore
Starring: Dennis Quaid, Miranda Otto, Giovanni Ribisi, Hugh Laurie, Tyrese Gibson, Tony Curran, Scott Michael Campbell
Look, it's Dr. House! Also, one of his patients (Scott Michael Campbell) from that episode when the cop gets sick from the pigeon poop and Foreman catches it too... remember that one? Rad.
Anyway, that's not this movie. This movie is all right, nothing incredible. It's a remake and since I haven't seen the original, I can speak to how well done it is, or if it improves on the first one. Anyone seen it? Care to elaborate?
Meanwhile, Giovani Ribisi is super annoying. And he kinda talks like he's impersonating Hannibal Lecter, which is somewhat creepy but mostly just douchey. Talk. Like. A. Normal. Person.
I don't have much to say about this cookie-cutter adventure movie. It's your typical band of strangers pooling their resources and efforts to overcome impending death. Fly out of the desert on a plane you just built? Yeah, no problem. It's good, thanks to some of the performances, but it's not one you absolutely must see. It scores a solid 50 on my 0-100 Meh-o-Meter.
