... lost an oportunity to showcase Russo & Hoffman talents. "Sphere" delved even deeper into unmitagated crap than "Outbreak", IMHO. "Sphere" exhibited all the lack of competant direction of "Lost Horizon". These are some of the main reasons why CG/FX get such a bad rap. Even though it's just the latest gimmick, a modern chase scene, as it were.Is it the crop of new directors? I still can't get over the behind the scenes of "Ronin" where the director was prominently concerned about the credibility of the action scenes (car chases & shoot outs). Did anyone who watched the flick really give a good damn about this (aside from the Frech Connection groupies who were DTing from the lack of a decently done scene)? I'd rather someone work with the Reno & DeNiro characters. That's where the charm resides. The action is an excuse to reveal their covert characters as these dark individuals learn to trust eachother in this inethical environment.
Just how hard is it to make a decent movie?
