Movie Review: "Jonah Hex"

Seen on: June 18, 2010

The players: Director: Jimmy Hayward, Writers: Neveldine & Taylor, Cast: Josh Brolin, Megan Fox, John Malkovich

Facts of interest: Hayward also helmed "Horton Hears a Who!"

The plot: Jonah Hex is a badass bounty hunter chasing down the worst bad guy ever: John Malkovich.

It’s an utterly chaotic big-screen adventure lacking a decent story and intriguing characters, and the whole film just feels like it was rushed without any passion or attention to detail.
