We check out the John Travolta films that have been bypassing cinemas over the past few years…

The answer that rose from the depths of my coal-black, hell-bound soul was weirdly surprising.

I grew up withCarrie,Grease,Look Whos Talkingand perhaps his best film, Brian De PalmasBlow Out.

I also grew up with some of his clunkers, like theLook Whos Talkingsequels and 80s concept comedyThe Experts.

Over those decades, his catalogue has defied explanation.

WhenPulp Fictionthrust him back into the mainstream, he was still picking up stuff likePhenomenonandMichaelin the following years.

Even inBattlefield Earth, he was at leasttrying.

Simpson, I find myself wondering will Travolta ever be big business again?

In someone elses hands, it very well could have been.

It flows very smoothly and theres an undercurrent of genuine love stemming from Travoltas performance.

Hoo boy, that title.

Thats the worst title.

I cant imagine anyone involved could have wanted it.

Its maybe the most generic title Ive ever seen.

The film itself Jackie Earle Haleys directorial debut is an unfortunate mess.

The twist is actually decent, but everything leading up to it is a headache.

Thats really all there is, plot-wise.

The script written by Paul nope, nothing youve heard of Sloan is so very, very bad.

Later, Travolta flings this bible across the room angrily.

This was hard to get through.

hey avoid it at all costs, for there is nothing here to keep you warm at night.

De Niro and Travolta together at last?

Well, the opening sequence gives us a bit of background on the reason were all here.

Something bad happened during the Bosnian War that will bring our two main dudes together for some serious vengeance.

It is Not Good.

His facial hair during this first scene is also completely ridiculous.

The script by proposedTomb Raiderreboot scribe Evan Daugherty occasionally stumbles, but is solid enough.

The direction is fine.

…Oh my god you guys.

We should totally watchPredatorright now.

Until next time, and until the next rebirth of Mr Travolta, I bid you adieu.
