Henry Saine directs this action movie starring Matthew Marsden,
Kristanna Loken and Christian Pitre. Set in a near-future where
corporations have completely superseded governments and nations as
the rulers of the world, the film follows the efforts of those
determined to put an end to profit-driven tyranny. With corporate
wars now fought with bullets and bombs, much of the Earth has been
reduced to a wasteland and the poor and downtrodden live in abject
poverty. However, from the ashes rise the Council of Nine, a ruling
authority that promises lavish rewards for those who bring them the
heads of the corporation owners and managers. Bounty hunters such
as the fearsome duo Drifter (Marsden) and Mary Death (Pitre) duly
set out to earn themselves fame and fortune in a dangerous world.
How will they fare?
A double-helping of Sandra Bullock comedies. In 'Miss Congeniality'
(2000), when the Miss United States beauty pageant receives a
threat from a notorious criminal, hardnosed FBI agent Gracie Hart
(Bullock) is assigned to go undercover as a contestant in the
competition and track him down. Gracie is none too happy about
this, and when top expert Victor Melling (Michael Caine) arrives to
help transform her from a tomboy into a convincingly elegant Miss
New Jersey, she proves to be a most difficult student.
Nevertheless, after Gracie enters the pageant, she soon forms a
strong bond with her fellow contestants, and begins to worry for
their safety as the killer continues to elude arrest. In the
sequel, 'Miss Congeniality 2' (2005), things haven't been going so
well for Gracie lately. Reeling from a broken romance and
frustrated to find her newfound fame is jeopardizing the undercover
work she loves, Gracie reluctantly agrees to serve the Bureau in
the only way possible: coifed and styled for the talk show circuit
as 'the face of the FBI'. Though resistant at first, she soon warms
to the attention and it's not long before she's getting into her
new role a little too much. Her new partner Sam Fuller (Regina
King), a tough, ambitious agent who is clearly not her biggest fan,
is the first to point out that the pampered Bureau star is turning
into FBI Barbie. But when Gracie's best friend, pageant winner
Cheryl Frazier (Heather Burns), and emcee Stan Fields (William
Shatner), are kidnapped in Las Vegas, Gracie's crime-fighting
instincts kick back in. Not wanting to risk losing their greatest
PR asset, the FBI top brass forbid her to get involved and charge
Sam with keeping her in line. But when it comes to breaking a
difficult case and helping her friends, there's nothing Gracie
won't do.
