Reviews
What, by perdition's flame, is Danny Glover doing in this dross? He must have made a few quid out of "Lethal Weapon" and it's not as if it was filmed on Tahiti or Maui - but in Utah? Anyway, Corey Sevier (Ishmael) and Kepa Kruse (Queequeg) embark on his "Pequod" (think USS Merrimac, but not seaborne) as they go off in search of a white dragon. Yep, it's that daft: there is even the semblance of a love story amidst the long dialogue exchanges that do nothing to compensate for a real dearth of action as they hunt their winged foes. Vinnie Jones appears now and again, too - but that just makes things worse. Gregory Peck would be spinning in his watery grave!
