Much, much better in the second half than in the first, but never **good**. Carano, while physically imposing is, sadly, just not much of an actor. John Hannah (who I am a fan of) puts on an abysmal American accent and to call it distracting is polite. But these sort of issues aside and _Scorched Earth_ still wouldn't have been **good**. _Final rating:★½: - Boring/disappointing. Avoid where possible._
