Underrated Director


I know he got Me Too'd but it's been long enough now that I would expect him to be back with new projects, but he hasn't done anything since 2015 and has no upcoming projects on he schedule, at least according to his IMDB page.

I know he has a reputation as being a director makes generic, visionless movies, but I've always thought that The Family Man, Rush Hour and Red Dragon were all quite good, and I liked Hercules fairly well also. While not every film he made is a winner, I do think he's shown that he can make a solid crowd-pleaser that has four-quadrant appeal.

I wonder if he'll ever make another movie or if he's truly just done.

He got accused of rape and has since fled to Israel because of it. I'm not normally one for pointing fingers, but given how he just left the country without even wanting to stand trial, he's probably guilty.
