No more than Errol Flynn becoming a terrorist rebel in order to defeat the evil Saxon Kingdom.

No more than Immortals chopping each others' heads off for The Game.

No more than a fucking Archaeologist fighting Nazis over a Jewish artifact in British-controlled Egypt.

Capo, its all effort...or at least hauling ass to make something worth a damn instead of another bullshit picture that Bay pumps out of his ass (besides gerbels).

BTW, those movies I mentioned:

DIE HARD
STAR WARS
LETHAL WEAPON
THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD
HIGHLANDER
RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK

Really, just because a film is popcorn-fun in origin, AND isn't supposed to be profound....doesn't mean you sack it.

Its that sort of "fuck effort" mentality why horror genre in general from Hollywood has been ASS.
