This is either the best performance ever or the worst. A similar deal with Jon Voight in Anaconda (1997).

He played a dickhead general extremely well.

Better than his performance in Dawn of the Dead.

That was a different character.

Same actor

Particularly good point.

The character is written as a cardboard cutout villainous military guy, and the writing is generally like that in this film. But the actor is memorable and I can't decide if he has done a great job with a crappy character or if his performance is pushing the bad writing over the edge.
