No question about how good Lopez looks, but the fact remains that this was far too childish a plot, or perhaps delivery style, for her to be in. Just like Matt Damon started looking for more intelligent scripts that are mature as he aged, she needs to do the same. This was childishly bad, even though it really didn't have to be that bad. It just moved through the motions with no real underpinning or depth, just talk, blustering, over the top faux-emotions to cover up for a baaaaaaaaaddddddd script and a worse director. Don't these folks send any of this work to a script doctor or evaluator before wasting so much money?
Same thing happened with the last season of Foundation. It became completely unwatchable. I think the problem is a bunch of television babies, who never actually studied cinema, dazzle people with tech, who are also gamers and other television babies, and somehow they think that makes them qualified to make a movie. It clearly does not, and I think after having been in enough real movies, Lopez ought to know better.
