This movie is disappointing in so many ways - cheesy 80s synth music; over-the-top acting by Neeson and Carrey; disjointed plotting (what does the Mob angle got to do with anything?), ridiculous radio control car chase gimmick, etc. But the real problem is the lack of a strong villain. Actually, there is no actual villain for most of this film. And certainly not a villain worthy of Dirty Harry - think instead of Scorpio from Dirty Harry. While most aspects of The Dead Pool are sub-par, all that mess remains moot given the lack of a strong foil to the force that is Dirty Harry Callahan.
