Battleship
"You sank my battleship!"
Canadian actor Taylor Kitch has not had much good fortune in finding starring roles in action/thrillers. Possessed of everyman good looks he does not often take his clothes off onscreen. This film plays very much like the video game upon which it is based. It blows up real good, the actors play secondary roles to the transformers, what acting skills they possess played mostly for laughs. The movie box office failed to recoup the cost of production, never a good sign. he battleships look like toys on screen their main function being to lob shells and blow up. Although thousands die it is all rather bloodless and we see very few injured or dead. The women on screen are there for eye-candy value, not their brains.
