I just know Stealth is going to suck and suck hard. Still check in on Monday morning for the Video Edition to see our review of it. Yeah I know it’s got Jamie Foxx in it… but I don’t care if you put Russell Crowe, Brad Pitt, Al Pacino and Anthony Hopkins in this film you know it’s still going to suck.
What looks like a mixture of 2001 and War Games thrown in with a dash of Top Gun wanabeeism for bad taste. The interesting thing is that of the 10 or 11 times I’ve seen this trailer in theaters, I haven’t once heard anyone in there say “oh that looks good”. Mostly I hear whispers of “you’ve got to be kidding me”. But time will tell. For now the critics are almost unanimously hating this film… sitting at around 85% Negative on Rottentomatoes right now. Here’s what some of them have to say:
“Reflects Cohen’s own aesthetic modus operandi of replacing all traces of humanity with digitized artificiality.”
Nicholas Schager, SLANT MAGAZINE“The stars are asked to chew on the driest of technobabble, and to strike poses of flyboy and flygirl moxie that make them look callow rather than heroic.”
Owen Gleiberman, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY“An unholy combination of ‘Dr. Strangelove’ and ‘2001’ that manages to trash both those Kubrick masterpieces at once.”
Frank Swietek, ONE GUY’S OPINION
Are any of us surprised? Not me… and probably not you either. Not exactly the follow up to an Oscar winner film that Foxx was probably hoping for… but no one put a gun to his head to do this film. Once again, check our Video Edition Monday Morning to see our review of the film.
