Why are there so many stupid, brain-dead movies like this?


Look at the movies of the past and most of the movies were at least attempts to tell stories about real life or things that might could happen in real life, but today over half the movies that come out are the most stupid idiotic stuff you could imagine ... a total waste of time and money. This looks so incredibly boring.

was there even a story? it seemed to me that nothing happened, just a nurse and a bunch of criminals bitching at each other for 90 minutes...?! who talked jodie foster and jeff goldblum into this snoozefest?

Probably due to the fact that the script is heavily character driven, but there's nothing really for the characters to do, and the build-up of tension kind of deflates with predictable and uninteresting action sequences set against a very intriguing background that doesn't have time nor space to be fully explored.
