I haven't sen The General's Daughter, but I enjoyed Con Air.
Con Air, watchable, but Cage is wasted in this kind of movie.
Give me Leaving Las Vegas or Red Rock West any day.
They're remaking The Prisoner?
Why?

No worries mate.
I'm not slamming you or anyone else for seeing it, I'm just slamming the movie itself for reasons given below.
I wouldn't expect anyone to like some of the movies I do, I just love my films and vent when I see something that offends me.
But a nice debate anyhoo.
Cheers for this

I watched it and found myself gritting my teeth.
Malkovich was cool, Steve Buscemi was cool, Cage is rapidly turning into Bruce Willis and needs to get back with The Coens or David Lynch to regain his cred.
The premise of the film was amusing, but I just think that West is a hack of the worst order.
Purely from a cinematic point, he has no damn idea on how to shoot action. (Incidentally, most of the action shots in this and Tomb Raider were handled by the 2nd Unit Director, as the studio were unhappy about his material and he's been asked to not reprise duties on Tomb Raider 2.)
At a test screening, West stormed out of the cinema screaming "Those funning editors have ruined my movie" when the score cards came back with consistently bad reports with enough walk outs to merit an increase in budgeting for the Superbowl Weekend.
They realised they had a turkey, and instead of using that money for reshoots or re-editing, they went balls out to hit the release date.

You have an obsession with the word 'Vacuous' don't you? Go-on, admit it...ADMIT IT DAMN IT!
In response to the original post, the Tomb Raider movie doesn't seem to be a flop, as it is sitting in the number one spot of the movie chart, although to be honest, I can't see what all the fuss is about.
I haven't actually seen the film yet, so I won't go on saying how pants I think it is, just how everybody else does.
Having read a lot of magazines lately as well as The Sun, most, if not all, have said that it wasn't that good. A lot have said that it is another movie licence (from a game) and another disappointing mess with some fight scenes and the hope that nobody will realise that its pants.
Some magazines have described the Tomb Raider movie as cold, despite some good scenes involving bungee jumping and the motorbike. The papers and magazines have also described the plot as being full of holes, and some really stupid dialogue.
There was a lot of hype over this film. People were seeing this as the movie that could finally end the curse of 'games to movies'. But it doesn't seem that way does it. Pity really.
Can anyone actually remember a good film that was based on a game? To be honest, I can't think of any. I though some of the fight scenes in Mortal Kombat were OK, but thats only because I like Martial Arts, the films on a whole weren't good at all. I bet there are some of you out there thinking of Super Mario Brothers. I hope not.
What about the future for films based on games? Can it get any better? Possibly. There is Resident Evil, but I am not holding my breath for that. What else is there? Perfect Dark. This could end up taking on James Bond, where it most likely lose, as there are literally millions of Bond fans (I am one of them).
I do hope we get a good one soon, because it just seems that it is impossible to make a good film out of a game.

Look Tomb Raider could have been better yes but it was quite a good film. The story was an unusual one, the special effects and stunts were pretty good and the fight scenes were fun to watch (even if there werent enough of them). At the end of the day all male Angelina Jolie lovers got what they came for - Angelina Jolie running... So if you are not female don't complain because I know you enjoyed it.
