What is going on with latest action comedies, either I am hallcuinating or suddenly american action comedies are just bland now. Last week, I saw Knight and Day starring Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz. I was shocked as to how hollywood's two well known actors can even think of acting in such a grody movie. The picture had such a predicatable story, half way through i could predict the ending. The movie had no action whatsoever, everytime it would reach to an action scene, the main character would black out and wake up after the whole scene is over. The humour was extremely cliche and the phrases seemed like they had been taken out of a 60's comic.Obviously the movie was a flop and a big disappointment to many Cameron Diaz and Tom Cruise fans.
The next day I saw  Killers, starring Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl. The plot is average but the ending stunned me, not because it was really interesting but as to how can they even make such a movie! It was completely and totally pointless. It was as if the writers were in a rush and decided to just finish the story by giving it a twist which had no roots in the entire story. I was even telling myself, this cant be the ending, there must be more to it but apperantly not. Its like one of those movies, where you are looking for the final conclusion and suddenly the screen turns black and the casts name starts coming, and your left thinking "Huh WHAT?". However, in this case, I thought with a cast like that, its going to be something interesting but apperantly not.
It really makes me wonder as to whats wrong with the action/comdey writers these days?
