The IRA terrorist in charge is almost put off pressing the switch by his brother so he shoots his brother and then blows the bomb anyway. :buggedout: Instead of tracking down the heartless killer, Brolin's character joins forces with the wounded brother to track down the other brother and then the wounded brother shoots Brolin in the shoulder and runs away with the other brother. The wounded brother then takes a boat trip with his brother and blows both himself and his brother up in that boat.... :buggedout: What a pile of steaming crap and don't get me started on Jennie Garth's Oirish accent: it's worse than Tommy Lee Jones' accent in Blown Away. :thumbdown: Just to illustrate how bad this is, at one point the brother - not sure which one - holds his pistol up and you can clearly see there's no magazine in the pistol's grip. :question: |
