In the great death of cinema narrative, candyflossed airhead McG will never be more than a mere petite mort. From the dress-up-and-watch tosh of the Charlies Angels movies to the emptily mechanical dross of Terminator: Salvation, McG makes films that leave you longing for the rich thematic depths of Ultravoxs Vienna video. Now, in conjunction with hacksploitation maestro Luc Besson, he has created something very special: a Kevin Costner vehicle that makes both The Postman and Waterworld seem fearsomely substantial. Dreary shoot-outs, boring car chases, crap family-bonding montages and unfunny comedic torture scenes are all bundled together in McGs first foray into European film-making, shot in hues that replace Miller time with Stella time. At one point, the Eiffel Tower illuminations come on in the background of a shot. From the audiences point of view, its a highlight!!!
