    I love trilogies when the third movie is sued into existence. We ditch Snake for Snow and rescue the president's daughter in space. It's what Carpenter wanted for the third one. We get it…..kinda. This is a lame script surrounded by great actors and sets. What's in the suitcase? Nothing. What's on the chip? Oh, it doesn't matter.
