I just watched it. This is one of the largest box office bombs I’ve seen in a while. It had a budget of $75 million and it only grossed $14.5 million. It wasn’t very good, but I didn’t think it was horrible. I thought it was decent mindless entertainment.

I thought these two trivia items were interesting:

Todd, the main character of this movie, is on screen over 85% of the time but only speaks a total of 104 words.

A false press statement was released, saying that Kurt Russell broke his ankle during a stunt, when in fact he tripped over an ornamental cabbage during a break.
