Yeah, the actor of the military boss was good too, kinda reminded me of the guy from Apocalypse Now! (I love the smell of napalm in the morning.) The other actors could've been ok too, but their characters were just too one-sided and predictable. Of course same thing for Sig's character, but she's

Please don't take this article too seriously it's full of sarcasm and irony. A world full of idiots and sometimes brilliants people like the people on this very list. Michael Bay is the bad director of trash like Transformer and Perl Harbor. The only talent of Michael Bay is filming
