B rated sci fi movie channel type. The first 15 minutes shows how bad the movie is. Turned off after about 30 minutes.

I'm sorry to say that I quitted this film after the first 30 minutes. I couldn't bear watching very talented Mr. Brosnan and Mrs. Thompson trying to make sense out of this ridiculous supposedly funny terrible comedy.

I lasted about 5 minutes before giving up. This genre has so many good movies to choose from, but this one is awful. Only a MST3000 overdub could have saved this or being stoned out of your gourd.

My 12 year old was debating which was worse, the plot or the continual lag in the streaming (it was like having a flawed dvd that got stuck).  I actually enjoyed Antonia Banderas and Carla Gugino -- they had fun -- but we turned it off with ten minutes left to go and that was only because it was family night.  Otherwise, I'd have walked out by minute ten.  Your life is too valuable to waste watching this drivel.

(Spoilers from first 30 minutes)

I couldn't make it through more than 30 minutes of this amazingly bad movie.  I normally don't have a problem with suspending disbelief in a film, but this one was so totally unbelievable that it was unwatchable.  In the first 30 minutes we have:

1.  A Presidential convoy where the cars are following so close that when the one in front slams on its brakes, the rest bang into each other in a chain reaction.
2.  A C-130 that manages to fly all the way to the White House with bad guys aboard and the USAF can't manage to divert it or shoot it down.  Instead it shoots down the AF Fighters.
3.  So many bad guys smuggled into the US with high tech weapons that all the security in the White House can't manage to stop them.  Instead all of the WH security guys run out onto the lawn with their pistols drawn and get cut down by automatic weapons.  Nobody thinks to stand behind something for cover.
4.  Our hero, of course, never gets shot, can run behind the bad guys shooting them and no one turns around and shoots him.
5.  When the President is taken hostage inside his ultra-secure emergency bunker (don't ask), the entire US military 'stands down' because, gasp, the Prez is a hostage.

That's when I turned this waste of time off.  First, how did the baddies get all of this weaponry, trained insurgents, hardware, etc. into the country and set up this well-planned assault without anyone (CIA, FBI, NSA, etc.) getting a whisper?  Second, sorry folks, the President is NOT the government.  We have protocols about this.  If the President is no longer able to function as Chief Executive, for any reason, the VP becomes Chief Executive (oh, and Commander-in-Chief) and life moves on.  The entire military of the Unites States does NOT 'stand-down' because some terrorist took the President hostage.  More likely, whatever government is deemed responsible (and an attack this well coordinated and involving this much high-tech hardware has to have government backing) is told, "Knock this off right now of y'all, as a country, is about to become one big steaming pile of radioactive waste.

Thankfully I didn't make it to the torture and abuse scenes that evidently came later.

Just too stupid for words.  I would have given it 0 stars, but Amazon won't allow it.

I only managed to watch 20 minutes before I got tired of the nonsense.  Part of the problem was that the dialogue was so low that I could hardly hear, but the action scenes were so loud it woke up my wife who was sleeping in the other end of the house.

I watched the first 5 minutes and gave up... painfully bad. :(

I'm going to have to disagree with the other reviewers about the quality of this film. The first 20 minutes were great, and the structure of the story around one individual was a good storytelling choice, but the filmmakers ran out of things to say about halfway through the hour. The last thirty minutes was highly repetitive with multiple interviewed historians and archaeologists saying the exact same thing over and over. For example, there were multiple scenes in which experts said "Hey, we found cut marks on the skeletal remains." As if each time was the first time the viewer was hearing it. Near the end of the film, several experts each said one after the other, and in nearly the exact same way, that their work allowed the young girl's story to finally be told. Then the film narrator then chimed in and said that the expert work finally allowed the young girl's story to be told. Yes, we got that the first several times it was said. Very disappointed that the filmmakers could not find more to say without repeating themselves so much.

Couldn't even get to the 30 minute mark. The scary part is that I paid for this.

Ridiculouly bad, from start to... 30 minutes in, which is all I could take. It's laughably bad, actually, from the very first 10 minutes when a cop arrives to arrest Jeb, who just shot the guy sent to serve ole Jeb an eviction notice and, walking up to Jeb who is holding a loaded shotgun, not only doesnt take his weapon out of his holster as a precaution, but... ah, nevermind... you'll see. It's not worth expending any more energy reviewing this thing thsn the officer took not drawing his sidearm. Microbudget, c-movie, train wreck.

after reading a considerable amount about this film, and not being able to 'rent' it from netflix, i decided to purchase this dvd here on amazon.

i put it in the dvd player tonight, and couldn't get more then 10 minutes into it as the dvd quality was so bad. now i am not speaking of grain or a bad transfer, i mean the dvd itself was literally so flawed i couldn't watch, or even hear it after a few minutes.

the screen would pixelize every few seconds, the screen would halt every few seconds, and the sound would halt every few seconds, usually with an overlap of issues at the same time.

i still really would like to watch this movie, but unfortunately i can not do that with this copy. i'm also not sure i would be willing to go out on a limb to buy another copy in case this issue is rampant.

a big darn on this one. if anyone knows of a digital way in which i can see this film, please do let me know.

In all fairness to the movie, I didn't get past the first 30 minutes.  The only content was horribly acted teen sex, drug use and profanity, and I gave up.

Title says everything
Interesting idea, awful execution.  Trailer makes it seem appealing, but after about 30 minutes you'll regret ordering like I did.

I went to see this movie with my girlfriend and her two sons, ages 8 and 12.  Within 30 minutes we were all snickering at this film, and totally disgusted with it.  We left and the theater manager kindly gave us our manager back.  It is worth noting that a male adult, female adult, and two children all disliked this movie.

Here is what I thought made it so poor.  To begin with, the subtitles flashed on the screen quite quickly.  I am a fast reader and barely made it through them before they were gone.  The type face they were in seemed hard to read to me.

Where this movie really lost me was in the much vaunted fight scenes.  It was ludicrous.  These people were standing sideways on porch railings, hanging upside down from the edges of a roof, and leaping 30 feet.  When you kick someone, they to do not two two backflips and land 20 feet away.

Some people describe this as beautifully choreographed.  I call it, fake, unrealistic, and so far-fetched that it made the entire movie more ridiculous than a cartoon.  There was one scene where thousands of arrows were raining down, and this man and woman were twirling in front of them knocking them all to the ground with their swords and clothing.  This utter departure from any sense of reality is not what I want to see.

Not worth watching. After watching 35min of it I turned it off. Too bad I liked the original
