Red Mercury (2005)
5/10
Should've been better

Warning: Spoilers
Good cast, promising storyline, mediocre film.

It started off alright, then kind of shot itself in the foot. There was some blatantly bad science in the form of a computer hard disk being added to the bomb. It was without its cover. Hard disks do not operate in the open, they must have clean-room conditions.

What else wrecked it was all the side-tracks and sub-plots such as the druggie daughter. These added nothing to the story and were added presumably as filler. All it did was make the production look even more TV-ish.

Anyway, it's got some good one-liners and a few funny bits that might make it worth a watch.
