I'm sorry, but in this still Anthony Mackie looks too much like Frozone in the cheaply-animated short on The Incredibles extras for me to take this movie seriously -- if the Michael Bay director credit hadn't already done that.

The Coen brothers promulgated the high camp, visually accentuated, more loud than subtle comedy (Raising Arizona) that people knowingly laugh out loud at during SIFF, daring anyone else not to "get the joke".

You decry this cinematic ribaldry because its style is now in the hands of someone who doesn't have enough hipster credits in his coolness wallet.

And yes, the Coens are some of America's worst directors.

My boyfriend and I were in the mood to see something kind of horrible and blockbuster so we went to check this out. First movie I have walked out on in years, and this was after like 20-30 minutes. I thought it would be the kind of bad that you could laugh at and have fun with but no, it was just gross, blatantly misogynistic (I mean, expect that in most mainstream movies, but whoa!) and poorly acted (except for by the Rock, whom I have this inexplicable love for).
