I really like
John Cusack and I find him one of the most watch able actors in Hollywood but he doesn't half sign up for some boring thrillers sometimes.
Identity anyone? The news from
The Hollywood Reporter is that Cusack is set to star in
Speed director
Jan de Bont's upcoming movie
Stopping Power for the new distribution outfit IM Global.
Cusack is set to star as a test pilot who sets off on a series of high-speed chases to save his kidnapped daughter from an escaped thief.
How exciting. These movies where our lead character is attempting to save his kidnapped daughter really has to stop, I'm so tired of them right now. The career of director Jan de Bont has never been quite the same since the release of Speed...
Twister - an uneventful mess of a disaster movie
Speed 2: Cruise Control - one of the worst movies I have ever seen
The Haunting - pissed on the legacy of the original and might just be one of the worst horror movies I have ever seen.
Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life - A sequel so bad, it makes the first movie look like Citizen Kane. You can probably tell, I have very little hope for this.
