1.5/5

Our indestructible Duke again has made actionful, if not stirringly meaningful, child's play of exotic disasters.

All the ingredients (cliches) of the John Wayne hero are here, from commitment to his job as firefighter to a wife who couldn't accept him to a daughter who affects reconciliation.
