Jonah Hex has more problems than the film's tormented central character. It's a confusing and poorly shot adaptation of a minor comic-book story that feels days longer than its scant 80-minute running time.Jonah Hex (Josh Brolin) is a bounty hunter asked by President Grant (Aidan Quinn) to stop post-Civil War terrorist Quentin Turnbull (John Malkovich). Hex is up to the task, since it was Turnbull who murdered his family and left him with a horribly scarred face.
In a plot that feels like it was originally planned for The Wild, Wild West 2, Hex must stop Turnbull from levelling Washington, D.C., with a massive new weapon.The script by William Farmer, Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor is a jumble of supernatural elements, a love story and selective bits of the comic book. None of the parts is developed enough to be interesting.
It would have helped if Hex's origin hadn't been reduced to a cheesy animated sequence at the beginning. Unlike Spider-Man and Superman, not much is known about the origins of Hex. The film should have been lengthened to reveal more about who he was before he became such a man of mystery.
The convoluted script could be why Brolin looks like he's sleepwalking through the movie. His stiff acting is only made worse by the makeup he wears to portray the scarred hero. He sounds like he's doing a bad Sling Blade impersonation.Megan Fox plays the only one Hex can confide in, a gun-totting prostitute named Lilah. Jonah Hex suggests that prostitution must have been a great profession in the 19th century -- Lilah clearly has the best dental plan of anyone in the movie.Studios are always looking for the next great comic book-inspired franchise. It won't be Jonah Hex.
