Another example of a Hollywood star well past his/her use-by-date, in this case none other than Mel Gibson. Aside from the Lethal Weapon installments, he had proven himself in other works such as Gallipoli, Ransom, Fatman, Blood Father, the Beaver, Edge of Darkness, Payback, the Man Without a Face. I was not very keen on the Mad Max installments.
The story was a rip off of the superb Michael Douglas and Shaun Penn movie the Game. That movie was superbly done and in a league of its own. This movie looked like a high school kid wrote its script. There was no complexities or real plot twists. Towards the end everything just piled on each other in a very rushed way.
I honestly cannot even say the premise was good but the actual movie was not. The premise was quite diabolical actually. WARNING SPOILER: the practical joker gets his own medicine dished out to him. Nothing shocking.
Don't bother with this one!
