REINDEER GAMES

2000

I should have known by the title that this was going to be one of the stupidest movies of the year. Along with stupid, however, I at least expected action-packed. And that wasn't even the case. There was about 5 minutes of good action in the whole 2 hour movie. Gary Sinise was terrific as the bad guy, but Ben Affleck was horrible. Unless they make a sequel to GOOD WILL HUNTING, I think we've seen the best Ben has to offer. Charlize Theron was nice window dressing, but even she could not save this ultimately ridiculous film. Add to all that some really crappy, amateurish cinematography and just enough melodramatic drivel and you get what should have been a CBS movie of the week.
