The last time we spoke about Commando here on STS, we ended up arguing the case for more deviant Australian villains for half an hour and devising a drinking game based around the film’s body count (we also considered growing Bennet-style push-broom moustaches – some looks never go out of style do they?), so we’re already stocking up on Sainsbury’s Basics Bourbon in anticipation as Fox announce a ‘can’t possibly be anywhere near as good as the original’ remake.
Just a little off the top please...
While Predators at least boasts Robert Rodriguez’s stabilising hand on the tiller, this former governator vehicle wil instead suffer the undue attentions of Fast and the Furious auteur David Ayer.
You know him right? He made that Harsh Times flick? Oh, and apparently he’s going to put a ‘real world spin’ on the story.
Because obviously, gay ex-green berets kidnap each other’s kids all the time in the real world.
So basically, we’re heading for a Jason Bourne-lite that steadfastly refuses to shout ‘I had to let him go’ after dropping a man off a cliff.
This can only be appalling.
