    Oh, as a connoisseur of garbage, The Cannon Group is near and dear to my heart haha. Of course, being more immersed in the Charles Bronson, Chuck Norris, JCVD-type Cannon output, it was refreshing to see their logo on a real “film”.

    I long for a successor to their throne, even if I have to concede that their model barely functioned while they existed, let alone its viability in today’s environment lol. Ebert hit the nail on the head in 87: “no other production organization in the world today—certainly not any of the seven Hollywood majors—has taken more chances with serious, marginal films than Cannon.”
