Renny Harlin should have his DGA card revoked

Harlin rivals only George Lucas in his ability to draw out the most wooden performances from his actors. What's so frustrating is there are people in his latest movie, Mindhunters, that you know are capable of good acting. Val Kilmer, Christian Slater, Jonny Lee Miller, Eion Bailey.

So what's their excuse? Easy paycheck? Considering this was made 2 years ago Bailey might be able to use the excuse that he was just starting out. But how did Kilmer and Slater stoop so low? And with Miller's increasingly crappy body of work it's seeming like his Trainspotting performance was a fluke. Although I'll bet if he didn't keep being cast in movies that made him use that terrible American accent he employs, I might like him a whole lot better.

Mindhunters was truly a waste of time, although not as outright loathsome as, say, Kicking & Screaming. I'm sure once this flick is endlessly recycled on TV (like Harlin's camp classic Deep Blue Sea) it might have some cheesy value to it. The deaths are fairly gruesome and the dialouge is laughingly bad. In the pantheon of cheesy flicks, it's certainly no Starship Troopers nor even a Deep Blue Sea.
