Hancock a criminally underrated movie that is a sly satire of superhero movies
Battleship not great, admittedly but hey I was entertained
Lone Survivor very solid action movie
Deepwater Horizon very solid action movie
Peter Berg, underrated, properly rated, or overrated? I vote underrated.
None of those movies are even close to the very good range, but I like Peter Berg. He's fun with Buzz Bissinger on the FNL DVD commentary, I enjoyed him on that Jon Favreau Dinner for Five IFC series, and he was a lead in The Last Seduction, which may be the best neo-noir of the 90s.
I have a soft spot for handsome leading men who go into directing in their later years. I could name like 12 but we all know who they are.
