You know a movie is terrible when you’re expected to root for the hero, but you root for the bad guys instead. Gibson’s haughtiness is only part of the problem. His character’s haughtiness is the main problem, and that is due to poor writing. The movie gives the impression of not messing with the wrong guy, that he is superior for some reason. That’s a myth that everyone in power would love to keep going. If someone says they like this movie, you’ll know why. But it is a myth, and it does send out the message of keeping the haves as haves and the have nots as have nots. That’s America.
A bomb.
