Such a wild true story deserved a wilder and/or more entertaining movie.
You know, Youcant really go wrong withMartin Scorsese, or You cant go wrong withDenzel Washington.
What if hes directing a lackluster action movie, too?

What if that movie is called something generic,likeOn Deadly Ground?
What if he somehow roped in the likes of Michael Caine,John C. McGinley,R.
Lee Ermey, andBilly Bob Thorntonto star in it andbe temporarily lowered to his level?

That sure would be a shame, wouldnt it?
1994sThe Lion KingeffectivelymadeShakespeare’sHamletwork for younger audiences, sure, butGnomeo & Julietis noThe Lion King.
Hulk Hogan is here, too.
Despite being made relatively recently, its kind of obscure and forgotten, and thats probably for the best.
InTwist, Caine plays the villainous Fagin, and doesnt get that much to work with.
Its not even much fun when viewed ironically, really.
If there was a way to make bees scary,The Swarmfailed to find it.
Hearing characters freak out over bees constantlylike they’re Gob fromArrested Developmentnever stops being funny.
The dialogue, in general, is wonderfully atrocious.
The special effects, though expensive-looking, arent good.
What a glorious mess.
What a strange, terrible, beautiful, confounding, hilarious film.
