What was Reeves thinking? A movie he will definitely want to forget. Hackman must have just been bored to take his roll too. The only saving grace and the reason I gave it 4 stars was because of Ifans. He is actually quite funny but the rest should stick to their action films. I would normally turn poor efforts like this off but I was intruiged that there has to be something funny in there somewhere. Just a single ha would have done but it was to no avail. The script is so clichéd it's frightening. Just read the synopsis and that's your film. The characters expecially the football team are cringy and also lack any funny bones in their bodies. I won't pick on the cheerleaders because it's obviously just a paycheck for them. On the whole,one film if you've missed it you've missed nothing.
