Saw the movie "Safe House" last night. It may have been the worst movie I've ever seen. Not even close to so bad it's good. Just awful.

As always, your views may vary.

Did Ryan Reynolds say lots of pithy things?

Worse than "Jack and Jill" with Adam Sandler x2 ?

was it the acting or the material?

There was little to no plot or character development. Lots of herky-jerky action. And loud, very loud. I was wishing all the main characters would die . . .

Worse, Ryan Reynolds stole a 5-series, and couldn't even outrun a Cherokee . My dream is to have to outrun a bad dude while driving a BMW. Shouldn't be too hard.

Will not watch. What the hell happens to great comedians??? Deal with the devil? What was the last goid Eddie Murphy movie you saw? But you KNOW he's still gotta be funny as berkeley just to hang out with at a party. I don't get it.

Another movie that pegged the "Suck-ometer" was The Tourist - with Angelina Jolie & Johnny Depp.

Even as a free borrow from the library it was just awful...

I'm pretty sure kids happened to Eddie Murphy. That was what I always blamed it on, anyway. Wiki says his eldest was born in '89; IMO the last "good" movie he was in was Another 48 Hours (1990).

You guys need to calibrate those suck-o-meters by watching Caddyshack II to find true zero.

No one can claim any other is the worst film ever until that person has seen Manos: The Hands of Fate or Night of the Lepus.

In reply to Will:

...or The Room or The Happening or Birdemic.

If it weren't for MST3k and RiffTrax, I would never have made it through any of those.

I didn't think Tourist was that bad.
