Oh man, oh man, I was bored at home and decided to watch
Fair Game,
a movie with Cindy Crawford and William Baldwin. (Both horrible actors/actresses.)
Anyways, I just saw some of the worst and cheesiest hollywood cliches ever. By the way, did I mention this movie is cheesy? CHEESY?
Here are some of the cliches I saw:
1.) People working in a computer store are "geeky."
2.) A beautiful woman can instantly attract "geeky" people who work at computer stores.
3.) The main character can get off eight shots from his cheap pistol in a span of a couple of seconds.
4.) The lead actor/actress do not like each other in the beginning, and ends up having it after an argument.
5.) The baddies are European.
That has become a cliche nowadays.
6.) The classic "women-in-peril-so-man-must-protect-her" plot
7.) The main characters are actually responsible for the deaths of like four people, but of course, the deaths of those four people are not shown.
------For ex. (Since the baddies have been tracking the lead guy's cell phone, he decides to turn it on and throw it in another truck, so therefore, the baddies follow the other truck.) However, once the baddies find it is not the guy they're looking for, you know they will kill the truck driver because he knows their identities... but nooo... you don't see the truck driver get killed so nobody will be blaming the lead character. ) (That happens a lot in movies.)
8.) You're kinda confused about the plans of the bad guys for the whole movie, so in the end, they "suprise" everyone by wasting precious time to explain to their captives what their "evil" plan was all along. I believe that's in James Bond movies as well.
