In light of 2001's Pearl Harbor, this megabucks popcorn-spiller from producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Michael Bay is revealed to be a witty, postmodern exercise (by comparison anyway). There's a meteor the size of Texas heading for Earth — as indeed there was in Deep Impact, released the same year — and it's up to Bruce Willis and his motley oil-drilling gang (the Wrong Stuff) to blast off and save us all. In hallmark Bruckheimer style, it's flashy, overwrought and excessive, but there's a knowing irony in the committee-written script and in the performances of Willis, Billy Bob Thornton and Steve Buscemi.

I absolutely love this film and has to be in my top thirty of all time films. It has everything and keeps you hanging on until the end. I rememebr watching this is in the cinema when it came out and remember having a lump in my throat a few times during the film.
This is a film that has the ability to grab you and not let you go until it's ready to let it's hold on you go. Bruce willis plays a great role but for me the highlight was Steve Buscemi as Rockhound - worth watching the film for him alone.

One of the best Action movies in the last 10 years.
the best 2 and 1/2 hours well spent brilliant film a must for any bruce willis fans!

She told Entertainment Weekly, "I mean, I can't s**t on this movie because it did give me a career and open all these doors for me. But I don't want to blow smoke up people's a**. People are well aware that this is not a movie about acting." Bay has laughed off the comments, Read more
