Jennifer Garner 'Gimme a gun and a plane ticket'


So I saw this in theaters, and I'm just now watching it again on HBO and....

all i can think of his how bad Jennifer Garner is as an actress.

I am not a fan.

I like this movie for what it was worth. Chris Cooper, Jason Bateman, and even Jamie Foxx were pretty good.

But Jennifer Garner could have been recast.

Garner was miscast in this movie. Every time she tries and acts tough, she looks like she is trying too hard. It becomes comical after a few scenes. The scene after Jamie Foxx's character asks whether they can go to the nearby building and they all start walking towards the camera in a slow motion shot, you can see how she just doesn't fit with the rest of the cast. That scene makes me laugh every time I see it.

WOW, hater much? How can you spew such venom about Jennifer Garner? I thought she was awesome in the scene where she totally KICKS ASS! She took a rough beating and still managed to save Jason Bateman's life-- I was on the edge of my seat during that whole scene, waiting for them to lop off his head...She was totally believable in this movie and a hero, as were all of the "Americans". And how can you criticize her beautiful face, she is gorgeous even without any makeup on. She is a natural beauty, but she doesn't rely on her looks to carry her in any of her movies. It makes me cringe to read comments such as yours which are baseless and crude.
