My God. My first thought after seeing this first trailer? "No wonder it's coming out in January."
This film really looks horrible. (And I forced myself to sit through "The Pacifier".) Probably the worst thing about it is that Jackie Chan has a lot of comedic potential, and it looks like "Spy Next Door" uses none of that. Billy Ray Cyrus? George Lopez? Need I go on?
On an up-note, "Edge of Darkness", which marks Mel Gibson's first stint in front of the camera in quite some time, looks a lot better, even though it seems to be a carbon copy of recent films like "Taken" and "Law Abiding Citizen". Might be enjoyable, if for no other reason than it brings Mel back to the big screen.
