Viewing Notes
Fun revisit. I didn’t see this when it initially was released but a co-worker talked it up back in ‘99 so I rented it and was equally entertained. Still holds up rather well even as ridiculous as it becomes at times w/those sequences. Fortunately there’s a stellar cast top to bottom and it’s sad to see how fucking amazing Sean Connery was during this time knowing that he just up and quit the biz after LXG.
I wish Michael Bay was still making movies like this rather than Transformers.
