the man has been directing big budget movies with the biggest stars in the world for 40 years and has not dented the public consciousness at all. like at all. timecop is his current most famous movie and it's like the 15th best van damme movie. "enemies closer" sounds kind of interesting though! is he the most mediocre working filmmaker? will anyone rep for 70-80s hyams joints? i'm fascinated by his career. the way he's managed to never fuck up real bad so he can keep working and never dips above or below the line of acceptability. i checked imdb and ALL of his movies are rated in the 4-7 star range. no razzies for hyams. it's interesting to me that this guy seems to be fundamentally incapable of being interesting. there are a lot of guys similar to him but usually they get handed jurassic park 7 or something and it bombs and they do TV forever afterwards but hyams just keeps that baseline. i'm assuming this poll will only get 4 votes as a monument to the hyams legacy. he'd want it that way.
