Even when he just phones it in, John Travolta still manages to suck quality out of everyone and everything around him. Without him, this would have been an entertaining little foreign intrigue action movie about an intelligence community newbie trying to thwart a terrorist plot he doesn’t completely understand. But then we get the off-the-wall intel pro (played by guess who) who wackys his way through the twists and turns. The “wow, foreigners actually are all out to get us” story didn’t help matters either. Overall this will be a treat for more Travolta-tolerant folk than I in search of a loud action movie. Mildly amusing
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
