We all know that Arnold Schwarzenegger is the greatest actor of his generation, able to switch between drama and comedy at the drop of a hat, performing both to a standard that others can only envy.
But, having said that, I don't think I've seen any of his comedies since Kindergarten Cop or Twins or Batman and Robin or something. And that was all many many many decades ago. So, does he still have those legendary comic chops that so dazzled the world?
I think you have to say no. In fact, looking beyond his performance, I must suggest the movie looks rubbish. It looks like a fan-made film whose director somehow managed to get a semi-retired superstar to guest in it as a favour to him.
I confidently predict this will rank as high in his canon of comedies as Terminator Genisys does in his canon of action movies.
Oh well, we can always entertain ourselves by watching his old films while we wait for him to find the vehicle that's going to get his career back on track again.
And at least there's always Politics to fall back on...
