Aaron Eckhart is great to watch, but he couldn't save this one from major cringe factors. The two female internet reporters are so clichéd and every single line they uttered made me cringe to the max. They really added nothing to the plot, nor did the entire media narrative element of this story. What's the takeaway? The media are terrible? Or great? Or all women reporters are...? I honestly don't know what the point of it all was. Even the big bad network anchor-another disappointing female character-made me roll my eyes every second she was onscreen because she and everything around her were just so unbelievable. I suspect the executive producers had a hand in injecting some female characters in what might have otherwise been an entertaining action flick; they ruined it. Aaron Eckhart is the one who got the short end of the stick on this. I hope he got paid well.
