This movie is easy as far as the recommendation. If you get a chance to go see it, don’t. The reasons for this negativity are not so easy to say. They’re easy to see, it’s just hard to say it. As someone who loves film, it’s just hard to say when a movie is so bad. But sometimes it must be said. This movie suffered for a horrible script, both dialogue and plot. It seems these days that a script full of expletives is always a good substitute for a good story. This movie takes that theory to extremes. Halle Barry’s character dropped enough “f bombs” to make Tony Montanta blush. Once the movie got started, well…..it never got started. It just ran slow as those annoying turtles on the Comcast commercials. I kept waiting for it to pick the pace and become exciting. I’m glad I didn’t hold my breath. It actually got slower at the end, which is fortunate since navigating the plot twists and turns gave me a bad case of whiplash. The only redeeming quality with this was of course the acting. Even with the horrid script, Bruce Willis and Halle Berry still gave outstanding performances. I just wish they had better material to work with.
I agree. I really hated this movie. But you didn’t mention the other thing that was offensive. This film was top-to-bottom product placement.
I’ll tell you, the only that I liked, and this is because I read lots of detective fiction and mysteries, was the last scene, where all was revealed. I honestly did not see that coming. I thought I had it all figured out, and was pretty disgusted with having wasted 2 hours on a film with bad dialolgue, unnecessary sex and cleavage, and a predictable plot. The surprise at the end caught me off-guard, and that doesn’t happen often.
