John Voight looked hot!
Holy crap, I didn't even know that was him until after a good 15 seconds. And even then. Sure, the movie is nearly 15 years old, but that still makes JV nearly 60 here. And, regardless, I can't believe just how incredibly great he looks here. He's one of those people who just do not look good when they get skinny. He looks huge, bulky, and incredibly buff here. The only thing I don't like is his choice of plastic surgeons. Every face lift he gets just seems to age him more and more, doesn't look "quite right."
So putting just that aside, I thought he was great. Even his accent, (which was not authentic but it was sufficient to put the point across and added a new dimension to the character type he most often gets cast in). He looks like he's built like a friggin' wrestler here, and he even moves differently, to suit this character. I liked his acting here.
The movie was retarded (as in, slow, ill-paced, a challenge to suspend my disbelief, all that sort of stuff). And sure, the movie was a little stupid. But you could gather all that from the title. The cast was excellent, some great names here. I liked the actors. My only "real" complaint other than how cheesy it was (and I often enjoy some good cheese in my flick selections), was how silly that anaconda snake looked. They could have made it work, there was a thread of what could have been a nifty plot. Voight was the greatest contribution.
Staying on topic, yes, and wow, Voight looked so big and strong and healthy and athletic and smooth. Dang.
