So, the Americans (why is there no proper word for the inhabitants of the USA?) save the day yet again. Is this to make up for all the wars they have bailed out of rather than finishing? Look, I'm not anti-American (no, really) but this sort of film does not exactly credit the USA with anything other than purely gung-ho sensibilities.
Although.... maybe the writers were actually satirising all the Hollywood films with that kind of jingoistic attitude. Or perhaps they decided a spoof was the only viable option with such a ridiculous plot. I really hope so, because that is the only way to explain the ridiculous ending and Bill Pulmans's truly vomit-inducing speech at the end of the movie. "... we will not go silently into the night." - I wish he would!
As for the rest, just look at the goofs section to see what a hastily prepared movie this is... I vote we start sending the name of the continuity checkers with a list of their goofs to all the film producers, requesting that they never be hired again!
