Borderlands Is a Total Catastrophe
One of the strangest things about so many of these studio salvage-job disasters is that we’re often left wondering: What happened to the salvaging?

She does at least seems to be in on this joke, lowering her voice to a coarse, cynical rasp — but the performance rarely rises above bad-sketch territory as she delivers wooden tough-guy lines like “I’m getting too old for this shit,” “God, I hate this planet,” and “We’re gonna need some wheels,” while swaggering around looking somehow both purposeful and bored.
