What critics compared One Tough Bastard to
After cutting his teeth as a director on the Brian Bosworth vehicle One Tough Bastard, Kurt Wimmer proves himself grotesquely unprepared for his hyphenate debut: the futuristic stink-fest Equilibrium, starring Christian Bale, Emily Watson, and Taye Diggs.
Yet, Wimmer (director of "One Tough Bastard" and writer of "The Thomas Crown Affair") seems far more interested in fashioning "Matrix" style action sequences rather than the thought-provoking sci-fi allegory that this acts like it's going to be.
Wimmer (1995's "One Tough Bastard") postulates a post-World War III world in which humans' problem-causing ability to feel emotions has been neutralized by government-enforced doses of a drug called Prozium.
