Jonah Hex (2010)

Director: Jimmy Hayward
Writer: Screenplay: Mark Neveldine, Brian Taylor Story: William Farmer, Mark Neveldine, Brian Taylor Characters: John Albano, Tony Dezuniga
Cast: Josh Brolin, Megan Fox, John Malkovich
Genre: Action, Western, Drama, Thriller, Steampunk

Jonah Hex is steampunk based on a graphic novel, and it doesn't really work on any level. Fox is as usually only valid as eye candy, Brolin and Malkovich haven't got much to work with and clocking in at around 70 minutes, you really got to wonder how bad whatever was left at the editing room was.

I never care about any of the characters, the action sequences sucks and there's no tension to speak of. A couple of very brief moments along with Fox' body, makes it barely avoid the bottom rating.
