Director K Madhu's latest has high ambitions but lacks content.

Rogue Assassin is forced, flabby and formulaic. This isn't a martial arts movie. They just don't make them anymore. Rogue Assasin is the new age urban-action/martial-arts hybrid.

Kid Nation premiered last Wednesday, and the show was, for lack of  a better term, fascinating. It was formulaic and, well, just plain bad. But it was also fascinating. In case you missed it, the premise revolves around sending 40 children to a ghost town in New Mexico for 40 days. The ages of the children range from 8-15, with the majority lying somewhere in the 10-12 range. Once there, the kids will have no supervision beyond that of a couple of camera crew and the host, Jonathan Karsh, who comes and goes randomly, but always to help the kids on their path.    There's all kinds of hullabaloo about whether or not it's ethical to take kids and simply drop them off in the middle of nowhere. Though they immediately showed the largest factor in the parents' decision to let these kids on to a TV show that could do a mind job on them for years: A gold star (cute) worth $20,000. A star is handed out by the "town council" at every meeting, so presumably about 5 kids will go home with prize money. My guess is that at least one of them will also win some ridiculous prize at the end of the show...say a million bucks.    I'd like to say that's where the show gets "better", but it doesn't. On this show no one gets voted off, and everyone's going home a winner.

A buddy of mine who once worked as a New York City assistant DA shared the following insight with me: Most criminals are not very bright. He and I had just seen a heist movie -- something where an evil genius and his sharp-as-tacks cronies had pulled of an inordinately complex scheme to knock over a bank, grabbing millions in the process. In truth, however, most criminals are more "Fargo" than "Oceans 13," and that goes for cyber criminals, as well.

An incompetent spin on the poor-little-rich-girl story, the film involves a lot of wardrobe changes and product placements, and a smidgen of intrigue and some chaste romance.

Promising investors millions with the Next Big Thing is a good old-fashioned farce.
