i've seen some rotten movies in my time but this takes 1st Prize


Here, Mr Oirish terrorist - take this high-powered telescopic rifle and fire at whatever you feel like coz you seem like a decent fellow.

Oh and tell us exactly how to handle all our security situations while we guffaw like a troop of drunk baboons.

No no no don't get the President's wife off the stage even tho she is at immediate risk! We're flying in and need to abseil down and then run across a few buildings and save the day ourselves, which eventually results in... yes, you guessed it, getting the first lady off the stage.

And a special mention to: Mr Gere's faux oirish accent, achieved by speaking in a squeaky high-pitched voice.

And a million other things.

It was so bad I enjoyed it.
