The Stupidest Movie
"TAKEN" has got to be the stupidest movie I’ve ever watched. Liam Neesen, a retired shady US Govt. spy/killer is tricked by his now indulged and megarich ex wife into permitting his spoiled and wacky 17 year old daughter to tour Europe unescorted with an even wackier 17 year old girl friend. The two girls are abducted/snatched on arrival in Paris by Albanian sex-slave traders while daughter is actually on the phone to dad.
Super Dad then vows to find and kill the abductors and flies off to Paris to search for his daughter. In the process he kills heaps of Albanian abductors/kidnappers and brothel runners, shoots the wife of a conniving ex friend/police Official as well as tortures an Albanian by electrocuting the guy to death slowly for information. He then executes a very high French official (don’t know if the guy was police or Politician) running the slave auction whose only excuse was that it was business - nothing personal, as well as killing his ring of slave traders. Then our hero speeds in the wrong direction on the one way Paris ring road, jumps onto a river barge, and kills some Arabs including the poor schmuck who bought his virgin daughter.
Then after killing/maiming all those people, he flies home happily to LA where he returns spoiled daughter to indulged ex-wife and gets a hug. Then he takes a taxi home.
This movie is a must watch for students of cinematography on how to write a rotten screenplay with more holes in the plot than a kilo of Swiss cheese.When in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout

I put Evolution on the table.
However, Renny Harlin has more shi**y movies than anybody else. Driven isn't even the worst.Another Flying Finn

Any movie produced/directed/acted/etc. by Adam Sandler. I just can't watch those films at all. I've tried, but I have to cry, vomit and slit my wrists all at the time, so it's not easy.
Blessed are the woodheads since when the flood will arise they won't drown.

I don't think it was that bad, I actually enjoyed it :

It has nothing to do him being Finn. It has everything to do him choosing the poorest scripts ever. Cliffhanger yes, Long Kiss Goodnight again yes, Die Hard 2 yes. And that were the good films.
Cutthroat Island you say ??? Seriously? That is the second shi*tiest movie of all time. The purpose of that movie was to spent a honeymoon with Geena Davis at Malta and at the same time, spent all the money Carolco had. Which, after the movie, was bankruptcy. There are two fans for that movie and you mate, with no offence at all, are the other one. I haven't met the other yet.Another Flying Finn
