Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The Green Hornet joins Hudson Hawk, Batman and Robin and The Avengers as one of the all-time, big-budget action duds.
The one-note, one-expression Seth Rogen plays Britt, a spoiled playboy with father issues. After his newspaper proprietor dad (the reliably excellent Tom Wilkinson in too brief a performance) dies, Britt decides to join forces with company chauffeur and martial-arts supremo Kato (Jay Chou) to fight crime in Los Angeles as the masked hero The Green Hornet. The defiantly unfunny Rogen, who also co-wrote this rot, upends the film with his tiresome bromance schtick (also see Pineapple Express), and actors Christoph Waltz (as the arch villain anxious about his "reputation") and Cameron Diaz (as a gormless secretary) are thoroughly wasted along the way. Don't be stung.
