twoeleventhe movie performs within acceptable limits for summer brain candy, category: violence, subtype: remake.
no action is needed at this time.
thank you for your co-operation.
samuel l. jackson did seem to be having fun playing a parody far-right TV commentator. he even got to say that word once. the SF/X for the various robotic prostheses characters have looks pretty good too. however, that barely justifies watching carefully-edited clips of the movie.
with better writing, the remake could have been made to work as black humor or dystopia. that might have even allowed some good performances. but both are too much to ask of what we got.
