The star I was most impressed with was Dennis Hopper, he played the role of the villain, Deacon, leader of the Smokers cult brilliantly, animated and fantastical the guy was like something lifted straight from a cartoon alas the rest of the supporting cast appeared lackluster and somewhat amateurish, Jeanne Tripplehorn is a relative unknown and you can understand why watching her weak performance as Helen. The acting was uninspiring, from an actor the caliber of Kevin Costner I was expected much more as Costner is capable of much stronger performances, this was not one of his finest films. Yes there were positive points to be taken from the film, the action sequences were very impressive, minimal if any special effects were used, instead the film relied on old school techniques to captivate its audience, something that was becoming increasingly rare in this age of film making.
#Waterworld movie watch Patch#
"Waterworld" promised so much but delivered so little, what was meant to be one of Hollywood's continuing big blockbusters turned out to be a disappointing flop, some have described it as Mad Max on water, only "Waterworld" isn't a patch on those films.
