Worst Hanks Film I've Seen

toxiccity

This is by far the worst Hanks film i've seen. I'm not sure whether this film is supposed to be a spoof or that it is just that bad. Dan Akroyd is a good actor but goes overboard in this film, he feels as if he has to get every sentence out as quick as he can, yes it adds to his character but after a while it gets annoying. However I cant just blame Akroyd's performance, the dialogue which he had to work with was very shabby, there didn't seem a connection between Hanks and Akroyd like there was for instance in Pulp Fiction with Travolta and Jackson.After watching Hanks in films like Saving Private Ryan and Forrest Gump I found it hard to associate him with this happy-go cop, however I thought he did well giving again the dire script he had to work with. I'm glad directors were able to see past this film and make Hanks a legend that he is. The 'bad guy' whom Hanks interrogates is possibly the worst actor i've ever seen, his performance was that bad he made me laugh out loud, something the film didn't do.

score 2/10
