Caught the new Joel Schumacher film on DVD.
Here's a good example of why studios no longer make dramas. Film's about a family caught in a horrific home invasion. No special effects, no supernatural elements, no comic-book heroes. Compared to standard studio fare, this film is flat and boring.
We don't care about the characters and too much time is wasted on humanizing the villains. Karl Gadjusek's scripts often display these tendencies.
There's just nothing here that captures our interest. Nicholas Cage seems to be getting worse with each film he does.
Joel Schumacher should stop directing. He's never going to live down his BATMAN & ROBIN fiasco.
