    It sucked.


    Okay, let me elaborate, it sucked in all 11 demensions and various theoretical states.

    I rented it based solely on the presnece of Nathan Fillion. nothing wrong with his performance, but damn I could have writte something better than this while in a coma. What ever possesed him to take this role, I don't know but I have to say three words to him:

    FIRE.
    YOUR.
    AGENT.


    I won't bother to drag you through a description of the maybe 30 minutes of this peice of crap I forced myself through, but i must say this - I've never seen such a shining example of a screenwriter who thought that all one needs to make a watchable movie is an overflowing abundaince of random and contextless profanity. Hell, at one point two characters are walking through a room in which a TV is on and - given there was no dialouge between them - they had the progam being broadcast on the television supply a totally random "gaddamn cocksucker" or something of the sort just to be sure the quota was being maintained.

    Hell, I know movies are going to have cussing but they ought to have something BESIDES that....if nothing else some naked boobies ever so often or SOMEthing.

    Jeez Louise.


    so, in conclusion, the english language fails to provide a word for the level of sucktitude I witnessed today.
