Schumacher is at his best when making somewhat daft and silly genre films. His more serious work tends to be rather dull, and he hasn't made any true stand-out films, but he has a solid oeuvre and stats that are well above average for a Hollywood suit.

A short, fun and visually accomplished ride through Schumacher's world of Nazis and horror. Just sit back and enjoy the ride.
Often referred to as the spiritual successor to The Breakfast Club, which may explain why this one didn't do it for me. Many familiar names in the cast but they can't elevate the annoying, whiney characters they're supposed to portray. The drama is flat and Schumacher seems unable to create any kind of spark.
