Twister

DIRECTED BY: Jan De Bont

REVIEWED: 05-16-96

After a tornado kills Helen Hunt's father, she becomes obsessed with revenge in this incredibly stupid Michael Crichton thriller. Every plot point is explained at least three times in dialogue before being realized in action, and the actors, especially Bill Paxton, appear to be truly embarrassed by the script. In an interesting twist, while the good guys in this movie are weathermen, the bad guys are also weathermen--Bad Weathermen, in black vans. Nevertheless, there is something to be said for watching cows, trucks and cars sailing through barns.
