That's how I would have rated it when I saw when it was first released on VHS. Such a disappointment. Last year I re-watched it for the first time, though, and I enjoyed it. I will definitely re-watch it again.

People tend to get carried away with their negativity of it. Is it as good as the first two? Of course not. But it is still a very decent film. It's like people feel it needs to be "punished" for not living up to the extraordinary high standards set by the first two.

Been looking for 3 years? You can get it for like £2 on Ebay lol
Johhny Depp as the mild-mannered guy whose daughter is kidnapped to blackmail him into assassinating a state Governor. The pace never drops so you can enjoy the ride and ignore the absurd plot.
Reasonable Doubt [2014]. Director: Peter P. Croudins (Peter Howitt)
6/10
Ambitious lawyer gets involved in a hit & run accident and finds himself prosecuting a guy for killing the same victim. Loads of silly plot twists and Samuel L. Jackson playing one of his villainous roles.
*******
Good Luck Chuck [2007]. Director: Mark Helfrich
Could have been churlish and knocked a point off for the ropey cgi of one of the characters but I'm not going to. This film genuinely made me laugh out loud in a crowd of strangers and that's no mean feat.

It was the last film I saw and I totally agree with you. It's grim in places but it's compelling viewing propelled forward by an excellent Hugh Jackman. I'd recommend it.
Roger Waters The Wall [2015]. Directors: Sean Evans & Roger Waters
7/10
The complete live production of The Wall, shot at various locations (and the close-ups shot before the actual gigs) intercut with footage of Roger Waters touring round Europe in his vintage Bentley visiting war graves and memorials, ending up at Anzio in Italy where his dad went missing believed killed in 1944.
John Carpenter's return to low-budget after his 80s major studio outings showed he still had the chops. Blatantly derivative and slightly wayward, it still exerts a weird hypnotic grip from start to (splendid) finish. Cracking stuff. 8/10
The Shrine
Straight-to-DVD horror hokum, probably about the norm but with the odd eerie flourish. All you desaturation haters look away now. 5.5/10
