Unwatchable:
Broken Arrow
MI:2
Windtalkers

Watchable:
Face/Off
Hard Target

Everyone's gonna have a different list, but I think at least most people kinda agree that his best work came out of Asia.


Though, by any means, Hard Target is a baaad movie. It IS fun to watch, though.

Haha. Don't forget Imposter! Just shows that no matter how good the source material is, something can always be screwed up.

Dick also wrote Total Recall, which I thought was excellent.

they were not 100% faithful. BR was more faithful to 'Do Androids...' than MR was to the original story. but films never are, or can be 100%. if LOTR was, it would be 50 hours long.

Dick's Paycheck was very good, and the film seems to be faithful, but again, i fear Affleck may ruin it. i find myself trying NOT to laugh at him when he's onscreen.
