Film Review – I.T.

The question isn’t if “I.T.” is one of the worst films of the year (it most certainly is), but why does John Moore continue to receive directing assignments? The helmer of “Behind Enemy Lines,” “Flight of the Phoenix” (remake), “The Omen” (remake), “Max Payne,” and the soul-crushing “A Good Day to Die Hard,” Moore hasn’t delivered anything remotely close to a suspenseful moment, original image, or dramatic movement for as long as he’s been working in Hollywood.
