Absolutely stupid brilliance. A magnificent, reflexive, fun, schlocky "love letter" (hate the phrase but it's true!) to action films. The first hour of this is so divine, and the second half dives into strange meta-commentaries on celebrity that I had totally forgotten. Charles Dance is fantastic. And this thing is cameo city– a buncha random appearances that make you feel like they just sent a massive email to anybody who was available. Do not understand the crossover audience for some of these gags, but that just makes me love them more. A big chunk of the script for this Arnold Schwarzenegger action film is references to The Seventh Seal. For who? For me! (I have not seen The Seventh Seal. Not enough explosions.)When the Hollywood hamster wheel gets down to redoing films that were both critically and commercially panned, I would like to be in charge of writing this reboot! Okay, thank you!
