PUTRID, VACUOUS & INANE... AND THAT'S JUST DESCRIBING THE WRITER
MATTHEW CHAPMAN.
I want you to remember this name. Sear it into your memory. Because this guy should be arrested, tried and convicted for perpetrating a heinous crime: Wasting 99 precious minutes of anyone's time who sits through this vapid clunker.
Matthew Chapman wrote this script. Matthew Chapman is a very bad writer.
Just as convicted PC virus authors are legally restrained from owning or operating a computer, so while on this Earth should the same fate Matthew Chapman suffer. When he passes from this life, he should be made to watch this dreck of a movie, repeatedly, start to finish, as eternal punishment.
I have watched thousands, probably tens of thousands of films in my lifetime. I can never remember a film where my emotions were so affected during the progression of the movie. I went from amusement to disbelief, disbelief to incredulity, incredulity to anger, then anger to enraged. Why?
Because Matthew Chapman, Hollywood hack that he is, wasted 99 minutes of my life with a script so preposterous, nonsensical and idiotic that I actually felt insulted after having seen it.
This film was produced in 1992. I imagine the studio must have been pouring through piles of old scripts, searching for something similar to capitalize on the high-profile "Basic Instinct", which came out the same year.
You could compare Chapman's efforts to "Basic" writer Joe Eszterhaus, who had his own well-deserved trash-notoriety in the 90's, but that would actually be insulting Eszterhaus. And THAT is an accomplishment in and of itself.
There is a progression of events which transpire in the production of every film. The chain starts with a writer and a script. When Matthew Chapman finished the last page of this piece of refuse, did he feel like he had accomplished something? Did he congratulate himself, not realizing he had just completed one of the worst movie scripts of the 1990's?
And then you have to wonder about the rest of the chain. If I were any of the principles in this atrocity, I would have fired any representation that advised me to be involved with it. What did an accomplished director like the late Alan Pakula, and seasoned actors such as Kevin Kline, Kevin Spacey and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, see in this abortion?
You'd think Chapman wouldn't be able to get near the big screen again, but he authored two other scripts that were made into equally bad films: "The Color Of Night" (1994) and "What's The Worst That Can Happen" (2001).
Three films in ten years; what does this guy do a for a day job? It must be something connected with waste management, because Matthew Chapman certainly seems to be obsessed with the volume production of garbage.
If you ever pay to see a film in a theater, and the name MATTHEW CHAPMAN shows up in the opening credits, run for the lobby with your ticket stub and demand your money back.
